We make fun of the amount of ‘whataboutery’ in today’s political world, but ZOMG, this article from The New York Times so deserves it. Imagine if a white woman wrote this article and turned the tables on the races included … there would be protests in the streets and buildings would burn.
Opinion: Can My Children Be Friends With White People? https://t.co/BRfO6tRVuW
— The New York Times (@nytimes) November 12, 2017
From the NYT:
As against our gauzy national hopes, I will teach my boys to have profound doubts that friendship with white people is possible. When they ask, I will teach my sons that their beautiful hue is a fault line. Spare me platitudes about how we are all the same on the inside. I first have to keep my boys safe, and so I will teach them before the world shows them this particular brand of rending, violent, often fatal betrayal.
Just. Vile. If the Left’s goal moving forward is going back to their roots and segregating people based on skin color they have NO business being in any sort of elected capacity in this country.
None.
NYT publishes hate of closed-minded bigot who stereotypes an entire people & teaches their children you can’t trust people of another race.

Unfathomable.

Can you imagine telling your children they can’t be someone’s friend because of the color of their skin? In 2017?????!!!
It's amazing that your children would have any friends at all being taught such hatred. Try teaching them to be good people and you'll be amazed at how that's reciprocated, by people of all colors.

Brutal. But true.

We made this EXACT face.
I am an American born to Ghanaian parents. Please stop acting as if you’re the first black people or Africans to live here. My very first friend was white, his mom dutifully dropped him off in our low income apt.

Bingo.
Some of my best friends are white.

Some of this author’s best friends are black. Who knew?

The writer of the article is a joke without a punchline.

Maybe someone should remind the writer that children are the future.
What the actual fuck?!
How the hell does this divisive garbage get published in a major, supposed respectable outlet in 2017? pic.twitter.com/ZEezOPUMhG

It’s the NYT, you really have to ask?
Take a look at my profile picture. I'm the old white guy, the other guy is a very, very close friend. He's my adopted grandson.

Love this.
Wow. Scraping the barrel now. #GutterPress

With stories like this, the NYT is too low to even line birdcages.
Glad the NY Times is now giving a platform to unadulterated racism. And bringing children into it as well. https://t.co/T0HQ5BENt5

Shameful.
Presidents come and go. I feel sad for the children of the writer for having a parent with such a myopic point of view.

Agreed.
First of all, who chooses a friend based on color?? Character is where a friend begins! #StopTheDivision

I live in a multiracial neighborhood. Children all of races are friends. They are not jaded by NYT agendas.
Learn from children.

Learn from children.
Amen.
