this one easy trick will put a lot of black people into an early grave

Trump HHS nominee RFK Jr.:
If you give Black children “resilience” then “the inevitable racism” will “bounce off” them like they are “the Avengers” because “they will be immune to it” and “then we don’t have to stop racism altogether, because we’re never going to be able to do that.”

Is such a wildly demented way to think about the issue.
The only way this makes sense if he thinks that racism is just bad words. Just be resilient to the cops shooting you in your bed.
Abuse is not something that builds it. They should stop talking about stuff they know nothing about. They embarrass themselves.
Another sign that RFK 2.0 is much worse that the original.
All too often talk about kids being resilient is just code for "Look out kids, something shitty is going to happen to you and the adults who should be protecting you from it will do nothing."
The approach of RFK also completely ignores that racism is a wound on the souls of white people as Bryan Stevenson says. It does something to you not to see people as human.
Sadly, prejudice against any of us perceived as 'different' by irrational people may never disappear.
But changing laws to make us "equal" under the law & protect our civil rights is non-negotiable.
I too like to be a multimillionaire who lives a lavish jet set lifestyle and preaches the wisdom of a enlightened stoic outlook to . . . others.
Then again, I'm fairly certain his dad wouldn't have approved of his namesake's choices in life either.
This is the worst possible timeline.
You have to wonder what is wrong with those people.
Sometimes, the apple rolls far, far away from the tree.
It's prosperity gospel for victims of racism.
He's vile.
2. Reverse racism DOES
3. White people are being oppressed by DEI, Affirmative Action, CRT, and Woke-ism
All 3 Cannot be True!!
Because the lack of federal oversight means that the worst members of the LEO community will be further empowered to kill on paper-thin pretexts.
...and this SCOTUS sure as hell isn't going to "fix" Qualified Immunity.
His remarks are so tone deaf , insensitive and just plain mean!
This guy has unlimited privilege and an infinite number of safety nets.
He makes up stories about adversities he’s faced.
Send him back to Camelot or Hyannis Port or wherever he hatched.
It's gonna be a long 4 years
If only wanting it would make it so.
It sickens me that dad TRIED raising us to be as hateful/racist as he.
He passed last year at 86 & was still as racist as ever.
To this day I’ve never understood why he was that way.
Or his family.
I’ve NEVER understood the hate!
It’s shameful.
I raised my children far from him & his bigotry.
Boys will be boys, racists will be racists. May as well throw our hands in the air. (Turns to the targets) Just don’t let it get to you.
That tells you all you need to know about this nutjob.

How about taking things that might kill you off the table?
(Which will, of course, be more dangerous for people w/ fewer resources or support).
He’s treating racism as words can never hurt me when racism is actually sticks and stones.
Abraham “Should’ve pulled out.”
Martin “Agreed.”
John “I don’t know, Bro.”
It always goes back to white ppl believing that saying something is racist is worse than the actual racism itself.
But the oligarchs are spending BILLIONS to inflame and spread this shit through all levels of society. To divide us.
It was an explicit political project to make the white masses more controllable so the people with capital didn't have to worry about them realizing that it was just a few white guys at the top ruining their lives.
-it's the burden of the minority to modify their behavior, ie "build resilience"
Now the racist can avoid the burden of adopting higher standards of behavior
-responsibility avoidance
They avoid adopting norms/conventions of civil behavior
I said it before, but it bears repeating - Growing up I used to be so jealous of people who were born in the USA. Now, as a WoC, I’m so grateful I wasn’t.
I love Americans, but I don’t love your politics
All kids need resilience from the tragedies that happen in life. Saying black kids need it so the world can continue being racist is just so fucked up.
That seems like a good solution.
When did this happen?
Actually, come to think of it that would explain some things...
so glad to follow you here like i did on twitter
follow back when u have a chance thanks

A top of the rank idiot.
RFakeK is a piece of work...dirty work, that is.
I don’t think POC, with such a history of endurance, need lectures on ‘resilience’.

You’re right, that’s a trick and manipulation, as if we do not know our own experience here or how we were raised and how we’re raising our children.
I am still surprised there are people surprised the republican party is the Klan.
The first clue, the Confederate flags at their CPAC hootenannies.
No control of white supremacy & gate then. I see
Full stop.
1. Is the worm still in his brain?
2. Is he adopted? He can’t possibly be Bobby Kennedy’s son.
What a disaster.
The discriminated against, the minority, own him and his ilk nothing.
😡😡😡😡
(Quite a few of them are, IMO, despite everything.)
Nazis = the inevitable antisemitism
Family Research Council = inevitable homophobia
ignorance = strength
Oh wait
But hey, he wants us to be "resilient". Resilient for what? The cotton fields? This man is a pos.
