I'm watching "Black or White: Kids on Race" on CNN.
This is the saddest documentary I think I've ever seen. All the little black kids thought that white children are smarter, better looking, that adults like them better, etc.
All the little white kids think that black kids are dumber, look bad, and wouldnt want them as class mates.
ALthough the study can't be the final say on how children see race because of the sample size the conclusions can be taken very seriously.
It just made me really sad to hear 5 and 6 year old talk about how their skin color is ugly, and that people their color are dumb, or not smart. The children of our day and age shouldn't have to deal with these issues. While we should always see colors, and know the differences in tones we should never think one color is worse or better than the other.
*sigh* I dont even think I can go to sleep now.
