How little we've grown

"All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and

great will be your children's peace."

Isaiah 54:13

I am apart of some online adoption groups and one of the participants shared the attached news link. In the 1950's a Doctor did an experiment to illustrate why we needed to desegregate. The experiment was simple. Take two identical dolls, one white and one black, and ask children which doll was the good doll and which was the bad doll. Black children picked the white doll as the good doll and the black doll as the bad doll. Recently a high school student reexamined this experiment. The results are very concerning and validating.

Concerning because it shows how little we've grown. Validating because of the reactions we receive from people when we explain some of our deliberate approaches to teaching our children to be proud of their race and ethnic origin. The responses show peoples unawareness of the issues and our need to take such deliberate action. At times I begin to wonder am I making to much of this. The video has helped reaffirm our need to teach our children to be proud of who they are.

I don't want to believe we still battle racism. The attached video shows how subtle racism is still active in our society today. I claim the above scripture for Nemo & Nema.
