My 6 year old came home from school this week & sat down to a snack
He was quiet for a minute, then said in an *incredibly* horrified & embarrassed tone:
“Mama…did you know people…um…people used to think people like you & me should…have more stuff because…*whisper*…because we have light skin?”
He could not get his head around it. I said that’s true but it was very, very wrong & everyone is equal. But we have work hard to make sure it’s never like that again
Hey. MAGA. 1st grade shit, my guys
