“What do you tell your child who is bi-racial (black &
white) and trying to ignore jokes from his white friends about Clippers
team owner Donald J. Sterling’s statements of not being seen with Black
people? I’m tired of this imprudent as a mother who is trying to teach my
child to love self, but cruel family members and our stupid society are
rejecting people of color. He argues with me and assumes I don’t understand
because I’m white. My son is very handsome and intelligent, but lack
self-confidence because "his world" is surrounded by rejection and hatred. I
honestly believe our entire family needs therapy, especially my son….”
Children, mothers, fathers, uncles, spouse, partners,
business owners, or people in general are suffering mentally because of racism.
Racism is worst than being shot with a bullet, but similar to dying slowly from
an incurable, painful disease. Caregivers should never ignore their children’s
mental state or need to seek professional mental treatment if their children
are addicted to fading/tanning creams, think one color is better than another,
depressed due to rejections of others because of their skin colors, or think it
is acceptable to reject people because of their race. It is believed most
parents or people in their circle cannot help their children with this type of mental
conflict that’s stem from racism because most likely they are also suffering or/and
helping insert these negative perceptions.
Harming someone for being born a different color is absurd.
There is no sound research or justification to inflict racism, but people are
still teaching their children or promoting to the future generations to remain in this cognitive
deformity.
Fear is the foundation reasoning for racism. Cultural or societal are the roots of racism. In other
words, racism is a set of beliefs and behaviors that are learned. The great
thing is racism can be unlearned with a lot of help. If you are an adult and deal with
racism or think you could possible be prejudice please also get mental health
therapy. Our country is slowing dying as we continue to believe racism is normal, allow media/social-media to insert it daily in ours minds, or believe it is better to ignore it and not do what it is needed to deprogram mindsets.
