With a LOT of emphasis on "emotion". Its all about your feelings, his
feelings, her feelings. Thats where a lot of this gender identity nonsense 
comes from as well. And the race-card. 

I see this at my kid's school, I see it in the schoolwork she gets assigned.

Her school was on the local news because someone spraypainted racist graffiti 
in the bathrooms. I said to her these things happen. I get a blank stare from 
her. "Yeah but its racist".

I said racist graffiti is not racist. The person who did the spraypainting is 
likely not racist, but ignorant and antagonistic - spraypainting something 
racist to get a reaction from people.

I said the REAL racists are the "anti-racist counsel" now formed at your 
school or the invitation for students to form an "open dialog about race"
because the focus of this is to paint minorities or "people of colour" as
citizens unable or incapable of handling feelings. They MUST have groups
consisting mostly of white kids to tell them how to feel. Which validates both
the victim-mentality culture of millenials and the White-man-bad stereotype.

Speaking of colours, I asked her how the millenial phrase "people of colour" 
is any less racist than the phrase "coloured". Or better, how is "Negro" 
racist. Negro I believe is Spanish? It used to be a proud term of endearment
in black literature or storytelling... To Kill a Mockingbird is now banned
at her school. MLK and Malcolm X speeches also refer to Negros in a positive
light. I hear that "African Americans" prefer to be called Black, as not all 
black people come from Africa. Anyhow we're back to People of Colour... POC.

But books suggested for reading nowadays are about a black character who
endures an incident of racial profiling or harassment by the police. Nothing
is written about the facts that led up to this, just about the authors
longwinded view that the police are out "to get him" and how the incident
made him "feel". My daughter had to write a report on this to earn a grade.

When I explained to her the logic that if one wants to avoid the police, one
should perhaps not commit crimes / not associate with criminals / not give the
police attitude / take the name and badge # of the officer to file a complaint
in our legal system instead of mindlessly rioting...  I get a blank stare.

"I can't tell them that dad, its just going to cause a huge arguement".

I asked what was wrong with that? Nothing wrong with a passionate exchange of 
ideas. "I don't want to be called a racist".

I then realised that, at 15, popularity and reputation is everything and she 
doesn't want to be "that girl" who thinks or acts different.

Unfortunately thats how it is up here...
