{snip}
Last summer, my seventeen-month old son and I were standing on the sidewalk in front of an outdoor cafe in New York, waiting for my husband. As my son watched the passing traffic, I noticed that the actor Laurence Fishburne was sitting at a nearby table. {snip}
My son was less discreet. Following my gaze, he began the toddler version of revving his engine—flapping his hands, exhaling breathily, straining against my arms. Then, in all his full-throated glory, he called out “DOGGIE,” pointing at Fishburne. A handful of customers, Fishburne included, turned toward us just in time to see my son, now gesturing emphatically, yelling, “DOGGIE! DOGGIE! DOGGIE!!!”
{snip}
If only my son’s outburst were an aberration, his lips forming the word “doggie” when his brain meant “that guy from The Matrix.” But in truth, my son has recently developed a habit of calling black people “doggie”—on the street, on the subway, in our corner deli. And in response, I have developed a fear of leaving my apartment.
{snip}
But, at the risk of reducing my son’s budding comprehension to a standardised test question, those verbal swaps represent items of a similar category, things that go, or things you drink. Finding a similar link between Laurence Fishburne eating a plate of pasta and a golden retriever walking on a leash is more problematic. And the fact remains, my son has never, not once, referred to a white person as a dog. So I find myself adding another anxiety to the already overcrowded catalogue of concerns I have about my job as a parent: is my son taking his first steps toward becoming a bigot?
When you are focused on the minutiae of raising a toddler—teaching him how to feed himself, or to play in a sandpit without mauling another child—it’s easy to forget they are becoming anything, much less a thinking, sentient being. But my son’s race problem has reminded me that his powers of perception, like those of all kids his age, are razor-sharp. Every day, the lens through which he sees the world is being crafted. So the question is, what does he see?
{snip}
Or in my case, “I want my son to see that I have a library of books left over from my days as an African-American Studies major and a pictorial montage of him dressed in a series of Obama onesies and never mind the fact that I have no black friends, that we live in a neighbourhood that is overwhelmingly white, and that the non-white people we meet are either delivering food, caring for other people’s children, or working behind a register.”
More than any experience I have had thus far as a parent, this sudden question of race has been utterly humbling. My husband and I have talked quite earnestly about our desire to raise our kids in a multicultural environment, as opposed to the lily-white suburbs in which we grew up. This aspiration is one that many of our white friends talk about, and many of us see it as one of the primary reasons to stay in New York City.
But until my son started likening dark-skinned humans to animals, I hadn’t given any thought to how ridiculous my stated intention was. After all, the phrase itself is almost deliberately noncommittal. A multicultural environment? What does that mean, exactly? Proximity to black people? Dinner table discussions about Martin Luther King? Suddenly, my husband and I found ourselves having to spell out all the vagaries of our own aspirations—a task that forced us to confront some ugly truths.
For starters, I had to come to grips with the fact that we aren’t the people we imagined ourselves to be. There are many neighbourhoods that are more integrated than ours. We didn’t choose to live in one. We told ourselves that it was because of important factors—proximity to work and our friends, to a good subway line and great schools, and open, green space. And all of those things were true. But it is also true that in choosing them, we prioritised those factors above living in a more racially balanced neighborhood. So our commitment to diversity, which I am certain I am guilty of having bragged about at cocktail parties, was not as important as, say, being near the park.
{snip}
But on some afternoons, when I walk by the public school complex in my neighbourhood, I feel the clock ticking. The primary school is one of the best in the city, boasting two different gifted and talented programs. The high school across the street, on the other hand, has a four-year graduation rate of 35%.
Each day, I watch the largely white student body, some of them bussed from all over the city, filter out of the elementary school, and then I see the high school students, who are almost entirely black and Latino. Both sets of children stream out opposite school doors, a jostling mass of backpacks and blue jeans, so alike in fundamental ways, and so different in others.
And I wonder—if my son goes to one of the programs in that elementary school, how will I answer him when he asks why the kids in his classes are mostly white, but the high schoolers across the street are not?

Occam’s Razor: Racial differences. Some people are so wedded to their quasi-religious ideology that they can’t seem to grasp the simplest explanations to things in their lives that are contradictions, including themselves.
My toddler, sitting in our cart, once looked at an obese black woman in Kroger’s and said, “Look daddy, a bear.”
This is one of the funniest articles I’ve ever read…unintentionally funny, of course. Can’t you just hear the author’s liberal angst in every word?
I encourage Amren readers to read this full article, as well as comments left on the website. What a window into New York elitist thought!
Thank you, Erin, for illustrating so very succinctly why our civilization is doomed. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: the destructive values of 85% of white women!
Well, Erin, I have some advice for you and your apparently equally confused husband: To wit, if you value your son’s life at least as much as your commitment to multiculturalism, make sure he doesn’t go a predominately black and Hispanic 3-12 school system
It sounds to me as if this parent is crazy. Face reality and move to the suburbs, or go all the way to diversity and move up to Harlem and put the kid in kindergarten there. Get an apartment in a housing project there and show your black neighbors what wonderful people you are. Go to a black church and have an affair with the black minister to show you really love blacks. I’m sure they’ll return the love.
Tom Iron…
If you are legitimately concerned about what your seven month old is saying, see your doctor about sterilization. If you are legitimately offended by anything a toddler says, do anything necessary to remove yourself from society.
The following e-mail was sent by me to the author of this article.
Mrs. Blakeley,
In your posting, you referred to: “the lily-white suburb in which we grew up.” Tell me, Mrs. Blakeley, would you refer to that high school across the road from the primary school you intend to send your son to as: pitch-black? Would you refer to New York’s Chinatown as: banana-yellow? Would you refer to parts of Spanish Harlem as: peanut-butter brown? Well, Mrs. Blakeley, would you?

Wow, reading this makes me so grateful that my parents were/are not braindead liberals.
What’s telling is the mothers reaction to the word doggie. She hears it as a racial slur. Why? Is she the one harboring unconscious prejudices about blacks? What associations is she making? Her son may be using the term as an endearment linking cuddly dogs to blacks for all she knows.
The question is not, is my child a bigot, the question she should be asking herself is am I a bigot?
The answer is that she is. The only problem is that this woman can’t face the truth about herself and reality.
Liberals live in a world of perpetual self-delusion which is why I believe liberalism is a form of mental illness.
Just maybe, author Erin Blakely should contemplate the phrase: “Out of the mouths of babes”.
The natural inclination for NORMAL Whites is to if not actually DISLIKE Blacks, to be extremely wary of them. A concept well buttressed by the CRIME FIGURE for Black Americans, as well as Black Africans all over the world.
But liberal fools are invariable in an acute state of denial. Since the terms “Blacl rapist, Black killer, Black mugger” would fly in the face of their cherished ideal.
“my son has recently developed a habit of calling black people “doggie”—. And in response, I have developed a fear of leaving my apartment. My son’s race problem has reminded me that his powers of perception, like those of all kids his age, are razor-sharp.

Tut, tut. Well, dear lady, allow me to suggest that in a non-integrated society, you wouldn’t have that problem to worry about. People like you wanted integration, so now this is what you get. It (and everything else) comes with the package. Enjoy.
In my case, I want my son to see that I have a library of books left over from my days as an African-American Studies major and a pictorial montage of him dressed in a series of Obama onesies — never mind the fact that I have no black friends, that we live in a neighbourhood that is overwhelmingly white, and that the non-white people we meet are either delivering food, caring for other people’s children, or working behind a register.
This sudden question of race has been utterly humbling. My husband and I have talked quite earnestly about our desire to raise our kids in a multicultural environment, as opposed to the lily-white suburbs in which we grew up. This aspiration is one that many of our white friends talk about, and many of us see it as one of the primary reasons to stay in New York City.
[But] we aren’t the people we imagined ourselves to be. There are many neighbourhoods more integrated than ours. We didn’t choose to live in one. So our commitment to diversity, which I am certain I am guilty of having bragged about, was not so important as, say, being near the park.
(And PS, I’m sure that - if she could be really honest with herself - being “near the park” was not the primary consideration either.)
This women is aksing a very legitimate question. She admits that her and her husband were raised in very homogenous areas, and that their experiences with minorities are extremely limited. She is a perfect example of the Whie attitude towards race. She agrees with the concept of integration, but has never actually seen it practiced. This is how most White Americans have grown up. The fact that she is able to question the dogma of the integrationists by observing simple realities in her child should give all of us hope. I’m guessing that most of the White Nationalists on this site like myself have had plenty of experiences with Blacks, and our racial views are based in part on those experiences. I grew up poor, and I was surrounded by Blacks, so I know the difference between them and me. The friends of mine that our the most open to my way of thinking are the ones with the most experiences with Blacks. A huge percentage of Whites have never really had that much experience with Blacks or Hispanics. I think that in the coming years when more and more Whites are forced to face the reality of racial differnces, that’s when they’re attitudes towards integration will change. I can shout at people like her till I’m blue in the face about what it’s really like having to live among Blacks, but she’ll never get it unless she experiences it for herself. Most Whites will never understand until they experience it, but when they do, logic will overcome ideaology. Self-preservation will trump theoretical policy. Whites will have to take a huge dose of integration before get better. If you swallow a poison, you might take some ipecac to make yourself puke. That’s what we need, some racial ipecac(i.e. integration). Then we can change America.
This story reads like an Onion parody! Commitment to diversity I’ve bragged about at parties - Hilarious! If people in the Upper East Side are having such discussions, it’s news to me. Most east side uptowners will, after two drinks, admit why they live in that enclave. Millions of whites are stuck in “diverse, multicultural” neighborhoods, working long hours trying to get out, and this woman is looking for adventure like a prom queen who eyes the motorcycle gang to give her prosaic life a pulse.
Oh, the original Onion story, of which this real story seems like a parody, is “Area Liberal Worried His Asian Dry Cleaner Doesn’t Like Him,” and is linked. My Korean dry cleaner in NY loved it and pinned up on his board.

I just hope that the 17 month old doesnt repeat the N word if some blacks say it in her presence, as the incident reported by AR mentioned in 1996, when the mother of the child ended up getting killed because of what the child said. White liberals love diversity when others have to endure it, but they dont care to engage in it themselves very much.
Proof that liberalism is a mental disorder. Oh, the hand-wringing, the guilt and the absolute refusal to acknowledge the wisdom of Nature.
Brings to mind the study that found adults were less able to recognize facial expressions across races.
” There are many neighbourhoods that are more integrated than ours. We didn’t choose to live in one. We told ourselves that it was because of important factors—proximity to work and our friends, to a good subway line and great schools, and open, green space. And all of those things were true.”
Be honest. The main reason is that more integrated neighborhoods have higher crime rates and more dangerous schools but the main reason is that you also prefer to be around your own.
Don’t fret, lady. When your son asks why the academically gifted students are mostly white while the dropouts are mostly black and hispanic you can hand him copies of Michael Levin’s Why Race Matters and Phillippe Rushton’s Race, Evolution and Behavior.
While this liberal idiot is wondering how she’s going to:
she should be asking herself that question and answering herself with the truth - the truth that she and her husband have refused to face all their lives. Then maybe she can give her son some answers.
When I read stories such as this one, I sometimes wonder how people like the author manages to remove themselves from bed in the morning with all that guilt weighing thwem down. I also wonder why these folks dont just hand over all their worldly possessions to those wonderful folks “of color”, and sentence themselves to Siberia or some equally God forsaken place and just wait for their guilt racked existance to end. I honestly believe that SOME of these white leftists would prefer such an existance.
“How will I answer him?” Try telling the truth! And then buy him a copy of “The Bell Curve.”
Lady, take two AmRens and call me in the morning…
I lived in Brooklyn and Queens most of my life. I left for the same reasons she arrived. Hope that works out for you. Btw, have you met the thousands of other guilt-ridden lunatics profiled on AmRen through the years? Let me give you their e-mail addresses. You can all sit and flagellate yourselves over lattes…
An obvious case of the kid being smarter than the parents. Now, if Mommy were a true, died-in-the-wool, bleeding heart, egalitarian, multi-culti, guilt-wracked white liberal, she could do the liberal, tolerant thing and euthanize the kid, to save her and her husband’s top priority of maintaining the diversity image they so obsessively cling to, and prevent any future embarrassment brought on by their already bigotted son. Hey, no big deal, right? They are in favor of killing pre-born babies by way of abortion, and this kid is only 17 months. He is bad seed.
Mrs. Blakeley clearly needs therapy.
Simple,…Make him feel ashamed..look at the success this technique had on the white race at large. Shame is a powerful tool, especialy if you start when their young.
I truly believe that the source of most human psychological stress and internal conflisct is the inability to accept things as they are. I am sorry for this child, whose parents seem to be oblivious to reality and will force to child to believe that black is white, and that 2+2=5.
How to answer? Simple, avoid the question.
Move to North Dakota. Then when your son comes out of his all-white elementary school, he can look across the street and see opposite the local high school. From which exits an all white student body.
Therefore there is no basis for such a question. Erin, have you ever thought to ask yourself why this question has never come up in the thousands of years of European history? Because it did not come up, means there is no answer. It also means that there is no need for an answer. Teach your son well about competition and survival of the fittest. That’s Nature. Nature is all enduring. Your son should get ready for Nature in the gross sense, then bring it down to his individual level. Family first, Erin. look after your own. Let the other parents look after theirs. Those other kids are not your job.
“And I wonder—if my son goes to one of the programs in that elementary school, how will I answer him when he asks why the kids in his classes are mostly white, but the high schoolers across the street are not?”
Children recognize the reality of race while parents and politicians seeks to deny it.
That is the lesson for today.
how will I answer him when he asks why the kids in his classes are mostly white, but the high schoolers across the street are not?
He already knows. They’re “doggies”! Thanks for a good laugh. These people are positively eerie. This is the stuff she and her husband agonise over? Good grief!
Ok, I have about a million witty and insightful things to say about this lady, and the whole article.
What does this tell you? Keep it up, lady. You have no idea what you’re doing. Of course, you’re sacrificing your kid and making him suffer, but what the hell. Makes you feel nice and fuzzy right now, doesn’t it?
Yeah “diversity” rocks. Ask your kids how they like it. Our parents never asked us.
The king of human senses is sight. It is the primary sense for our survival. Before they are conditioned by society, small children realize who is us and who is them. Us is safe, them is not. Those who want to blend all humans together understand this and are working overtime to condition kids to deny what their eyes tell them.
This is one reason so many whites are victims of black criminals. They see danger but deny it, until it is too late.
To E. David Litvak,
That is an excellent observation of a very easy-to-miss point (what you wrote about “lilly-white”). That’s an example of the kind of smooth hypocrisy that makes the writing of liberals so irritating. Usually, I can’t quite put my finger on the source of that irritation.
Good job.
I just wonder why the child made the association of blacks with ‘doggies’?
This should be retitled “Reflections of a Conformist.”
When a Conformits’ behavior falls outside of the range of “acceptable”, they engage in maudlin self-reflection – and all efforts are made, not to question the legitimacy of the Conformists beliefs, but to bring their behavior back into the realm of the “acceptable.”
A Conformists “reflections” amount to “Am I conforming?”
“My son was less discreet.”
And more honest. Let’s face it. If he had said it about a White person his mother MAY have said something, like “Now, now, that’s not nice.” But she may also have laughed, since we live DEEP inside an Inverted World today, where we laugh at things we’re supposed to be ashamed of and praise things we should laugh at.
“So our commitment to diversity, which I am certain I am guilty of having bragged about at cocktail parties, was not as important as, say, being near the park.”
If you bragged about it then, yeah, “guilty” is the right word -and guilt is what you should feel. Not for your son, but for having bragged about wanting “diversity.”
“But my son’s race problem has reminded me that his powers of perception, like those of all kids his age, are razor-sharp. Every day, the lens through which he sees the world is being crafted. So the question is, what does he see?”
I encourage everyone to look over these words carefully. That first sentence in itself is just DYING to be turned into an essay. And the second, a Book!
I worry about the child being raised by parents that are so self-loathing. People like her and her husband are the ones that end up killing their family and jumping from a seventh floor window. It is basic human nature to wish to adhere to your own kind. Blacks are not our own kind, children know this at an early age. For too many years people have been genetically altering animals, especially dogs. Now they wish to alter their own children into being a self-hating liberal whom loathes their own white skin. SOME PEOPLE SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO BREED.
The masses are like sheep that are lead by whom?The answer is who do people like this identify with ,after all where is the national leadership.There are none that are taking a stand for our people so our enemies become stronger on the void we left behind.Because they are educated on what they perceive will keep them within the social rules.Thats why we need to step out from the norm.These times call for desperate action.This poor women has a fixation in the multicultural stage of development.But maybe the hope lies in the fact that when she starts to be honest with herself, she and her husband will realize it is okay for them to make decisions based on race and survival.I think these people need to be reinforced in their new found ideology.That is why national leadership is so vital to our cause.The time is right for a leader to emerge.RISE UP WHITE NATION!
>>>The main reason is that more integrated neighborhoods have higher crime rates and more dangerous schools
IS BECAUSE THEY’RE INTEGRATED! Now just what is so hard to understand about that idea?
No matter how long, how hard, how eloquently you argue against it… INTEGRATION HAS BEEN A FAILURE SINCE THE BEGINNING! A bleak truth which the liberals would rather be boiled in in oil, than publically admit.
Wow, reading this makes me so grateful that my parents were/are not braindead liberals.
“It sounds to me as if this parent is crazy. Face reality and move to the suburbs, or go all the way to diversity and move up to Harlem and put the kid in kindergarten there…”
What does all of this have to do with a woman being embarrassed by something her toddler blurts out?
“In my case, I want my son to see that I have a library of books left over from my days as an African-American Studies major and a pictorial montage of him dressed in a series of Obama onesies — never mind the fact that I have no black friends, that we live in a neighbourhood that is overwhelmingly white, and that the non-white people we meet are either delivering food, caring for other people’s children, or working behind a register”
This about sums up how delusional liberal whites are. Like some or many of you, I grew up in a predominantly black neighborhood, so i can say that out of thousands of blacks that I encountered for the first 18 years of my life, I met only a dozen that were truly stand-outs. I also remember that when the blacks would put on their mocking ‘white’ voices, they were usually making fun of people like her.
It’s always been my belief that whites should have to go to an all-black high school, or work in a predominantly black business, for at least one year, just so they know what it’s actually like. Unfortunately, with the way our people are dwindling, we need her to multiply further.
You know what’s funny? A black kid just did this to me at the store. She was following me around (unparented, of course) saying “doggy, doggy, doggy!” I’m guessing this is because my neighborhood is very high crime because of the diversity, and the small number of white people always have large dogs with them if they go walking around. So now she associates seeing a white woman with getting to see a doggy.
I certainly didn’t take offense. She’s a toddler. If she’s learning to associate one thing with another, well, that’s what her brain is supposed to be doing at that age. Match the shapes, etc.
This lady’s kid probably saw a black guy walking a dog, and later did the healthy thing by associating from memory. The mother should be worried about her own severe neurosis. The kid’s just fine.
“A huge percentage of Whites have never really had that much experience with Blacks or Hispanics. I think that in the coming years when more and more Whites are forced to face the reality of racial differnces, that’s when they’re attitudes towards integration will change. I can shout at people like her till I’m blue in the face about what it’s really like having to live among Blacks, but she’ll never get it unless she experiences it for herself. Most Whites will never understand until they experience it, but when they do, logic will overcome ideaology.”

Mr. Smith you are very insightful and spot on. soon
A sickening, disturbing, and outrageous crime is happening today; liberal bastions are gentrifying, pushing low-income minorities to the suburbs. These suburbs consist of many hard working, religious, conservative Whites. The multi-cult libs don’t practice what they preach, pawning off their “sacred-cows” on stable neighborhoods outside of the urban areas. What is happening up in the Sacramento Delta where I reside is a sudden influx of loud, dirty, unfriendly, criminal-minded, racist, anti-White thugs who bring their violent street behavior with them. Instability is taking root…
I’m sorry to hear about your life experiences. Your mother and this author may have noble intentions but they’re trying to create a world in their image instead of accepting reality as it is. What they may never discover is that ‘you can beat back nature with a stick but she always returns’. Even if your mother and this author have an occasional success, the forces of nature will engulf and devour them.
“And after years of hearing left-wing propaganda, but seeing little evidence to back it up, just the same old African pathologies from numerous different sources. The truth just feels right, when you do finally come across it.”
Yes. Too many people know the parable of the Emperors New Clothes but they fail to grasp the meaning. One shouldn’t lie to oneself or others just to go along and get along.
Read Jared Taylors books, “Paved with Good Intentions”. Another one I like is “The Diversity Myth”. The second one is good if you’re in college.
Here it is in a nutshell: Urban (i.e., black) culture leads the nation in every imaginable social pathology, and yet “lily-white suburb” is a pejorative.
This hysterical woman reminds me of many of my liberal friends. They all “talk a good stick”. But, the truth is they all live in the burbs. One of my buddies moved to an area that bordered the “hood”. That experiment lasted a couple of years until his daughters reached schooling age. He relocated his family to a township that is as full of white self-delusion as he and his wife(especially his wife) are.
This reminds me of a story of when my ex wife was in an elevator with my daughter with a black woman and her child. My daughter at the time was around 4 years of age decided to just blurt out that”that baby looks dirty and needs a shower”. It was hilarious the first time I heard it because my ex was clearly embarrassed and the black mother was mad but could say nothing.
Maybe the kid saw “Snoop Dog” on television. I think there are some other rappers that call each other “dog.” It may be no more than that.
Answer to this is: parents are both nuts and child will grow up to be a bigger nut and probably end up in a rubber room….
I just took my four and two year old to the indoor playground. Of course, there was one child their that was being obnoxious and beligerent to the other children who seemed content to enjoy all the fun play equipment. I’ll leave it to you to guess the race of the problem child, who was the only one of that race there out of about 13 children. Needless to say I encourage my children to draw their own conclusions based on observation and will never contradict conclusions based on fact.
LOL!! BWAHAHAHAHA!! That is the most awesomely hilarious article I’ve read in ages! If you haven’t clicked on the link and read the whole thing, do it. This woman is even stupider than the AR clip lets on. Take this one for example:
“I want my son to see that I have a library of books left over from my days as an African-American Studies major and a pictorial montage of him dressed in a series of Obama onesies and never mind the fact that I have no black friends, that we live in a neighbourhood that is overwhelmingly white, and that the non-white people we meet are either delivering food, caring for other people’s children, or working behind a register.”
Dude, that one belongs in one of those Mastercard commercials: Priceless!
My husband and I have talked quite earnestly about our desire to raise our kids in a multicultural environment, as opposed to the lily-white suburbs in which we grew up. This aspiration is one that many of our white friends talk about, and many of us see it as one of the primary reasons to stay in New York City.
Another zinger. Sweetie, you and your lily-white friends are lying to yourselves and you know it. You don’t aspire to live among the diversity any more than anyone else. really doesn’t want you in their neighborhoods.
As for the neighborhoods you grew up in, I assume that in addition to being predominately white they were also: A) safe B) affluent C) civilized. Oh, the horror! How terribly drab! Get out while you can, lest your poor child enjoy all of these advantages as well. I mean, how will he ever have a true “urban experience” if there are no black or hispanic kids to gang up half-a-dozen on one and beat him to a bloody pulp because happened to look in their general direction?
There are many neighbourhoods that are more integrated than ours. We didn’t choose to live in one. We told ourselves that it was because of important factors — proximity to work and our friends, to a good subway line and great schools, and open, green space. And all of those things were true. But it is also true that in choosing them, we prioritised those factors above living in a more racially balanced neighborhood.
Well of course you did, you dolt! You see, all of those things you listed are actual reasons for choosing a place to live. One of them, proximity to work, is actually why I wound up living in a predominately black (and none too pleasant) area of Baltimore at one point. Of course I already knew the area well, having worked there for some time, and I’m a fairly large & strong male who knows how to handle himself. If I’d had any kids, they’d never have seen the place. Ever.
So cheer up, sugar pie. Your precious prodigy is not an eeeeevil racist. If you really do mean to go through with forcing him to grow up in a situation that resembles that God-awful high school you describe however, you are well on your way to becoming a very “bad parent.”
“Keep it up, lady. You have no idea what you’re doing. Of course, you’re sacrificing your kid and making him suffer, but what the hell.”
Not wanting your toddler to embarrass you or insult someone else will lead him to be a skinhead???
I was in a public restroom in Los Angeles one time when a mediterranean/ Arab looking guy was there with his toddler son trying to get him to use a urinal. A very large Minnesota-Nordic looking guy walks in to use the urinal next to theirs and the child starts going:
“Look daddy a big FATTTT man…A big FATTTTT man, look at him daddy a big FATTT man.” At the top of his lungs. The father who was very small was embarrassed and tried to play it off with his son, but he looked as though he feared for his life as a the ‘big fat man’ grew increasingly annoyed.
Would being embarrassed/ concerned by this have been wrong?
Please note that she is worried about her little one; is willing to gag it on a bunch of Diversity books, but is not going to send the precious to the other school with the 35% dropout rate to experience Diversity in the raw.
A race or individual developes in a realistic way when life is hard and somewhat uncertain. These conditions preclude excessive indulgence in things superfluous. Suburban life however by insuring more security/conveniance unfortunately has a way of rotting our dilligence/perception. As is well noted on Amren it is almost always removed idiots that have the most to say about subjects they have little if any actual experiance with. Of course there’s exeptions but a person doesn’t have to go far to find the most pathetic unrealistic compassion freaks and do gooders amongst the pampered mediocrity. The pleasure is when these people get eaten by the primitives they make their cause to save. Sometimes there’s even an encore when they go back for more revealing their hidden masochistic desire to be debased by these very primitives that understand and despise them. Do-gooders are usually self haters that lack the courage or ability to rectify things within themselves that would give them self worth, by appearing to ever save the world they can partially succeed in avoiding the fact of (self betrayal).
Hey, Gen X from Oz
My three year old, out of the blue, announced that he didn’t like the “red boys”; we did not understand what he meant and asked him if mom and dad knew any red people. He announced that our next store neighbor was red. Well she was an black woman. He didn’t know what they were but he didn’t like them. Does that make him a bigot or just an observant little boy?
This article confirms what I’ve maintained for many years; for most liberals and multculturalists, their idea of “diversity” is going to a Thai restaurant once a week.
“If only my son’s outburst were an aberration, his lips forming the word “doggie” when his brain meant “that guy from The Matrix.””
Her seventeen month old toddler has seen “The Matrix”? I gues Mr. Rogers Neighborhood just doesn’t cut it anymore.
To Dr. Caligari: You are exactly right. “A person’s tolerance to diversity, is directly related to their distance from it”. On this subject, I can say no more. DeoVindice.
Erin should have herself artificially inseminated with African American DNA. I’m sure her “lily-white” husband won’t object, unless he’s really a racist. This way, she can assuage her guilt and have living proof of her commitment to diversity. She would be the envy of all her friends. Who knows,she might start a new yuppy trend. And her son would grow up with all the advantages of integration right in his own home. The only question she would have to angst over then would be which school she should she send her bi-racial child to: one thats predominantly white, or one thats predominantly black.
The child was most likely just repeating what black people call eachother. Black people say”yo dog whats up” to eachother all the time. I’m guessing the kid heard this and is repeating it.
So in a feeling of guilt, the parents of this todler are now setting up a college fund for him at George Washington University!!
I doubt the child is calling anyone a dog. More likely he associates Blacks with a character on TV or someone he saw who had a dog.
Cheer up, lady. If the kid had said “monkeeee!” he would be under investigation by the FBI.
To Gen X in OZ, I truly sympathize with you. Had either of MY parents remarried — to a Non-White, I’d have severed all relations with them forever!
By the same token, if I had a daughter who brought a Black home as her new “love”, she’d have been shoved out the door, bag and baggage, right then and there. Told in no uncertain terms, we were no longer HER family! Not to bother coming back ever again.
Tough? Heartless? Your answer depends on how much you believe in what is right or wrong. I’d have the backbone to make it stick. As would my wife. Some crimes (miscegenation) are beyond forgiving. The thought of mixing MY genes with Blacks… NEVER!
Go to the link and read the comments that got through before the cut off. Most of them see this woman for what she is:

The child may have learned to call blacks “doggie” from his illegal alien nannie. Last week an Indian immigrant spoke to me about his opinion of blacks. He has lived in several countries and says he has never encountered a group with so many problems and deficencies. I can’t quote what he exactly said, as the ADL SPLC would hunt me down.
I am very suspicious of this story.
Is this a downs syndrome child? Does he have some other mental disability? Being both a Mother and a nurse, I extremely doubt that a normal 17 year old could possibly confuse a dog and a human.
Is the child a victim of abuse? Has he been locked in a closet all his life? Has he no books of animals and birds?
Very suspicious.
Why doesn’t the Mother just tell the child that dogs are dogs and people are people?
This absurd article supports the thesis that “racist” is a code word for “white” - see:
http://www.geocities.com/readerswrite/commentaries/Racism_code_word.htm
Accordingly, the newborn are “racist” (or “prejudiced”) as soon as they turn out are white.
The above shows the ultimate goal of “anti-racism” in an interesting perspective: to eliminate whites or, at least, to render them irrelevant minorities in their own countries.
And this, it seems, is exactly what is going on now in the U.S. and parts of Europe.
If you want to have a racially diverse society, then you need to be an authentic something. If you are white, live in an authentic white culture. That way, when other races visit your culture for a day, they can experience diversity. Likewise when you visit a non-white culture for a day. But if you live in an integrated society, you have no authenticity in public life, and there is nothing worth experiencing and nothing diverse at all.

Thanks for the reconmendations, I certainly will put my money where my mouth is in terms of suppoting Mr Taylor, whilst arming myself at the same time.
I just wonder why the child made the association of blacks with ‘doggies’?

Yes, I seriously wonder the same thing. Is there perhaps some black cartoon character named “Dougie”?! Wouldn’t that be ironic: the Mom picks the “right” cartoon, then misinterprets the 17-month-old’s remark, because she doesn’t watch the stuff herself!
I just made that up, but I bet it was something along those lines…
‘I wonder what your liberal parent thinks of your current opinions’.
I will never convert her and she will never convert me. She thinking in terms of absolutes. And now we avoid talking politics 100 percent. For me it is similar to talking to a brickwall (not listening), deflects my points by answering a question with a question or turning it back onto me i.e. “why do you know all this stuff?” or “that I have too much spare time” or “that I think too tribally”.
Had either of MY parents remarried — to a Non-White, I’d have severed all relations with them forever!
…I left home embarrassingly too early , which of course was a huge set back in terms of education, which has kept me blue collar, and for socioeconomic reasons I’ve ended up working and living in areas full of diversity, there’s no escape! (I’ve been the only white guy working with crews of Polynesians, Sudanese Blacks, Arabs, Vietnamese and in the office environment East Asians and liberal whites (the worst)!
But one assertion I agree with is “if you want more rights you have to fight for them yourself, because no one else will do it for you”.
Generally this would be very true. And certainly it aplies to you. But in the case of blacks, it has been OTHERS who have fought for them consistently in order to obtain for them the “rights” and benefits that they have gained. In fact, blacks have actually “won” nothing for themselves; everything they have gained has been “given” to them by their “white” mentors and sponsors. If it were up to blacks alone, they would still be shining shoes and selling newspapers.

I agree with what you’ve said entirely. In the world of liberals, whites (even though we do not exist as a group aparently), specifically men are seen as the status quo and hence are the target of displacement. The question of ‘do they deserve their places of power because of merit’? is never raised. And we are the one group that they will never fight for. We are the barriers that they are all trying to break down.
