Sporting (and hawking) gear by clothing company FckH8, the #FergusonKids have created a video called “Hey White People: A Kinda Awkward Note to America.” The video was posted by St. Louis alderman Antonio French, and reaction was mixed.

@AntonioFrench this isn’t going to help.

@AntonioFrench NOT the way to stop racism. Having these kids identify people as white and black is promoting racism.

@AntonioFrench if this was turned around a "Hey black people"! It would be called racist! So why is this ok?

Not impressed: radio host Larry Elder, who dubbed the #FergusonKids “the next generation of black victicrats.”

@RN_Lola @rochellek14 Let's teach them about "villains" early. It's not enough to vote for and reelect a black prez. Trusts funds for all.
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@larryelder – and I think that is exactly what was so disturbing. They started off addressing ALL white people, not racists, all@RN_Lola
— Rochelle Kirk (@rochellek14) September 10, 2014
@rochellek14 Well, that's the point, isn't it? Whites will ALWAYS be racist, if not overt then covert, if not knowingly then unknowingly.
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@larryelder – that's really sad. How is anyone supposed to ever move forward and grow w crap like that being taught? So, so, sad.

@RN_Lola @rochellek14 It's how the left breeds democrats/statists/collectivists and retains that 95% black democrat "social justice" vote.
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@rochellek14 And the "teachers" are often the most accomplished of blacks who blame their own frustrations on "racism" and "oppression."
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@RN_Lola @rochellek14 "Some of my best friends are black" and "I don't see color" and "Race talk makes me feel uncomfortable"="RACISM"?
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@larryelder – that confused me. I really do have black friends, so am I now a racist? Lol. @RN_Lola
— Rochelle Kirk (@rochellek14) September 10, 2014
@rochellek14 @RN_Lola Then whites are "racists" for their "discomfort" around blacks after being told that everything they say is "racist."
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) September 10, 2014
@RN_Lola @rochellek14 Just saw an ISIS video where little kids learned to denounce and aspire to beheading "infidels." Hatred is learned.

@larryelder – that's a really great example of how hate is taught. If your raised to know no better then that's all you'll know. @RN_Lola

@kittoms Then when the inevitable bad bounce happens, it's confirmation of the very "racism" the kid was taught to anticipate.

@cfriedline77 Where's video of whites kids telling blacks to lose the chip, pick up books and put down basketball, learn to pronounce "ask"?
