i don't think the first kid is exactly racist. we tend to relate to what looks like us and a child is going to attribute good to similar to them, and bad as different from them. and the mom is right... you can't even see a face on the really dark one.
and the questions asked to the 2nd girl are totally persuasive. she did really well regardless!
Wow, its surprising that most of the chilren chose their own race for good traits, and the other race for negetive traits. I still think they're innocent, though. They're too yuong to realize any bias and they're greatly influenced by the peopl around them.
This is a ridiculous experiment, if they have shown animals in darker colours it would have been the same result. I am black myself and I even used to think black cats were really evil when I was little.
This is libtards trying make Caucasians racist from the begining.
Why is it when a Negroid child chooses black as good, is it good? While a Caucasian child chooses white and it's bad?
Basic Anthropology, study it and then don't be a bunch of whiney little assholes who generalize more than the average un-defined racist!
I'm probably racist, you're all twats who can't except that some races are inferior, you make racism and mixing races is wrong; STFU, learn and then don't be so ignorant.
This seems more like a conditioning test. Kids are generally conditioned to respond with an answer to a question. The 1st girl hasn't been conditioned to rebut the question and give a conditioned response, so she just makes up a logical answer that seems reasonable. Since only color is different between the drawings she chooses anything good to be associated to her color. While the older 2nd girl has been conditioned to recognize the intent in the question, and give a conditioned response.
The mother said race isn't a part of their dialog, so the 1st girl is oblivious to it. That is not the same as being racist. Yet still poses certain problems. Also it seems as if the 1st girl is one or two years younger and most likely less aware of the ideas regarding the test.
On the other side of the coin how does exposing very young kids to race conditioning (even if the intent is for good) effect them? Hyper vigilance? or being comfortable?
i think it has to do with the concept of light and dark as opposed to skin color. In a word association game (white, light, fair, beautiful, hope) are one group. Conversely (black, dark, mean, ugly, evil) are grouped as one. Thus you will see black children picking the "lighter" skin characters because they are taught to group good to be white, light and beautiful as opposed to dark, etc. Racism is here to stay, it's ugly but it's here. Our only hope would be to breed IR till all's beige color.
@TheJazuma I totally disagree because people will still find a way to hate each other. They will put tall against short, fat against skinny, dark hair against light hair. etc.
The question is biased - they ask to point at one child. So the children has to choose one. Secondly, why is we upset because white children choose white children? What is the problem with that? No one says anything when black children choose a black child as the "good one". This test is misused by the liberal media to spree hatred. This could be done in a good way, but so long these liberal racists is destroying these tests it all boils down to shit. My kid is bi-racial and he chooses daddy!
@ZimmermanHound You are an idiot. I suggest that you do research on this before making dumb comments. Most of the black children and most of the white children chose the white doll and you don't find that problematic? Google "The Doll Test" conducted in the 1940's by Dr. Kenneth and Dr. Mamie Clark.
@BlackRebel4Life I actually have, I wrote my minor thesis on the subject (Swedish and immigrant children). I concluded that there is a strong genetical factor that drives children from choosing "white" before "black". This can be seen at the very young. I have an academic view on the subject not a political one. My (soon to be wife) is black and we have bi-racial two year old. Im not sensitive when it comes to racial issues and I see no point in making politics of it.
@BlackRebel4Life Firstsly, the question if bias because it is not an open question were children can choose both dolls. Secondly, you can see black African children (in Africa) that have been very little exposed to white people choose the white doll. Thirdly, it is about choosing dolls, not people. In real life people are discriminated because of their looks. We see it among children when the "fat ones" are excluded.from social entities.
@BlackRebel4Life I do not see the problem in that kids like white dolls. What is the big fucking deal? My son love the Pippi Longstocking movies (besides Roary - the racecar). Pippi Longstocking is a white girl with red hair. I even bought him a Pippi Longstocking doll. I let him play with both girly and boyish toys and it does not matter what color the dolls have. It is just toys and I buy the toys he currently likes. Are you some kind of ethnic nationalist?
@ZimmermanHound Your son is white too, so I am not surprised that he likes to play with white dolls. The fact that I won't allow my daughter to play with white dolls does not make me an ethnic nationalist. I am just smart enough to not allow my daughter to be white washed into hating herself. Its all black everything around here so she knows better than to play with white dolls. She thinks they are ugly to be exact.
@BlackRebel4Life I and my sons mother practice "free education" and hope that by giving our child as much freedom (within safe boundaries) as possible he can develop his own personality and become an individual. We also give him food from both our cultures and he eats both, but sometimes prefer his mothers food more then mine. We try not to socialize him in any race - instead we try to create an individual - that is (within intellectual limits) colorblind.
@ZimmermanHound Your wife sounds like she hates herself and her people since she is married to a white man and has children with him that look nothing like her.
@BlackRebel4Life Im concerned when kids in "real life" exclude other children on basis of color or looks in their close community, like in kindergartens. Even though I understand that social discrimination is a natural part of human behaviour, i think one should do something about it at least in our close communities. But what kind of "preferences" people have is not in concern, but how they behave towards others. I do not think identity politics is the solution here.
Children are the great learners of the world, and if they can learn to talk at a young age, there is no reason why they cannot learn the racist attitudes of the culture they live in. The responses of the children are very clear. Instead of criticising the methodology, maybe it is time to focus on helping black children to gain a better self-image. A lot can be learned from the self-image of black children living in African countries.
Another failed experiment. Biased and unscientific. Where was the control group of children looking at red and blue dolls? What were the correlations between their choices and identity, presenter, media and parental influence? What I seen here is a good way to brain wash children using load question that take advantage of the trusting child's inability to recognize a false dichotomy and stand up to authority.
They aren't racist, they don't even know what that is, all the white kids were younger then the one girl who understood the difference. The white kids look like they are 4 or 5, the one that was thinking about the questions looked 8..
the experiment is somehow reinforcing and rewarding children' s thinking on these level. What would have been more positive, despite the research design would be to ask mutual questions. But of course, this is an experiment with minimal constraints using open ended questioning. But of course, we can design our own experiments by changing the questions. And changing the socio-economic status of those being surveyed to see if there is a comparative difference in a significant way among them.
so basically,let us hope that using a blind experiment,where the child nor the presenter are known,and see what the results then become.I would predict that the results would be strikingly similar. That is because, media influence, self-loathing, and poor self image among children contributes to poor or negative and stereotypical impressions of others being different in comparison.
The older children at the end only responded the way they did because they knew that they were being judged for their opinions. They knew the "correct" answers to avoid a negative judgment. But it has nothing to do with subconscious behavior that is taught through images they are presented very early on in American culture. The social color caste system is powerful and will always benefit European Americans and demonize African Americans. It was created for that purpose.
Truth is racism will never end but parents can do a better job by teaching their children that stereotypes do not define race and race is only a factor. When t comes down to it, we're all the same.
For such a young child, that little girl in the blue long-sleeved shirt is wonderful, and has a very sound ground. The other kids, I don't think they're really racist - it's just that in life, black symbolises bad, good light (white). They just need to grow up and get instilled in some morals and virtues.
Show me the smart child. the nice child. the mean child - the only variable is color. Same clothes, same smile. There's no way for them to not pick something 'suspicious'. Just stupid. If you had a variable of looks and expressions (like a white frowning kid AND a black frowning kid on different parts of the page) then I'd say it could find something substantial. They are forced to guess what their interviewer wants and have no real options.
Not to mention that most kids are probably going to go for the opposit of their own skin tone when asked about a negative trait, and pick their own color when asked about a positive trait simply because of limited options and self association, not racism.
@whatUneverknew When they did this test with black kids they chose the white one with the positive traits and the black with negative. Your argument is invalid.
@angelchik54 - I'm not saying that there isn't SOME social conditioning that's possible. But it isn't necessarily about race, it's about humans associating light and dark with good and bad (good cowboy wears white, etc.). This test being as uncomprehensive as it is, and the given normal psychological patterns of children, their not having other options, etc. means that it's a drastic jump of conclusion these people are making. yes racism exists, and racists are usually taught it from childhood.
@whatUneverknew How are these conclusions even drastic? Do you live under a rock? Do you not watch TV, read books, see any social media? It is near impossible to not be socialized otherwise in our society. Your statement is a drastic conclusion, it pretty much states that if you redid this test in any society they would always pick the light doll. It has less to do about cowboys and more to do with the fact that whites are always portrayed as the "most beautiful" race in almost every media form.
@whatUneverknew As a black girl growing up in the 90s by the time I was 5 I was very well aware that I was not the preference. It has a profound effect on kids, children pick up a lot more than you assume they do. From every cartoon, most novels and picture books, magazines, hey even the majority of the depictions of Jesus Christ are of him with light hair and eyes (occasionally with darker hair). Kids pick up on that, it's definitely 99% socialization.
@whatUneverknew i am confused as to how it is not about race. race is a social construct based on the "color" of one's skin. it is not biological. how would learning that "light is pure" and "dark is evil" in whatever format remain unrelated to how children perceive other children? a child is going to know and say "a white, clean feather is better than black, muddy feather, but i, as a light-skinned person, am no better than my dark-skinned classmate?"
@mirrorblueocean242 - I'm not saying there isn't a problem with social conditioning. I'm saying that this test is pathetically inadequate to measure it. This is unproductive sensationalizing. It's pointing fingers in the wrong direction for almost no reason. Fighting racism is not about getting people riled up with a contrived -oversimplified couple of questions.
@whatUneverknew this test is not meant to rile anyone up. This is just an experiment. The fact that people are riled up says more than the conclusions of the experiment suggest, and that's the point. "Fighting" racism is not about making people angry... but people will get angry. it's at least a step in the opposite direction of systemic privilege. i am still confused as to how this test is a poor way to test for social conditions. it socially questions children's conditions.
@whatUneverknew The Black kids pick the white kid for all of the positive traits as well the white kids are doing what they are supposed to do while the Black kids are suffering from being programmed by white supremacy.
I believe the major cause of this is, pseudo black people like Soledad O'Brien falsely mirroring, and representing black people. She's about as black as I am, I'm not even black.
@brightlolita Ask the first white kids when they become her age they will have the same answer because when you grow you aim to please and not show your true side. Subconsciously they will still stay the same. FACT!!
Of Course white children will prefer the White doll it look's like them. That's not "Racism" how do you teach racism? 2 month old babies show preference for their own race. White children shouldn't be scolded and white parents shouldn't feel bad that their children like the white doll. Thinking the black doll is bad will save their life one day.
@TheKquartz Well according to statistic a black person is 50 times more likely to attack a white person then the other way around and upwards of 200 times more likely to when in a group, 37,000 white women are raped/assaulted every year and of the 1.7 million acts of interracial violence 90% is blacks attacking whites.
@KumarZimmerman08 if those stats are valid, that is a direct result of the black person's history in the united states. when people start pointing fingers at black people, as if there is some biological difference that makes them "bad," they never take into account how we are all socialized in this country to think a certain way. just as white kids think blacks are bad, black kids are taught the same thing too. in schools we always said "never tell a kid he's bad, cuz it's exactly what he'll be"
@avalanchesoul Once again blacks are never held accountable for their own actions, it's always somebody else's fault. Your race behaves the same way every where they go.
@KumarZimmerman08 it's not about not holding people accountable. it's about understanding more fully how people react to systematic oppressions. you just want easy answers cuz actual thought makes your brain hurt. typical lazy american mentality. btw, i'm not black. again, with the quick assumption.
@avalanchesoul what 'Oppression' do blacks face? free social security and welfare? free college scholarships? It's always somebody else's fault. ALL races have suffered through-out history and not one has half as many problems as Blacks. They can no longer blame anyone else for their problems. I'm not American. Again with the quick assumption.
@KumarZimmerman08 take a sociology class. there are more whites on welfare than blacks. do you know how much is spent on scholarships? hardly shit, not to mention, education should be free anyway. many, but not all races have suffered, and those that have have their own problems of which you are unaware because you've most likely never even left your hometown. also, most of that suffering came at the hands of greedy whites. i assumed you were a lazy brained american because you think like one.
@avalanchesoul Did you send another comment to me? Or did you delete it?? EVERY RACE ON EARTH HAS SUFFERED. Blacks are the only ones who constantly blame everyone else for "oppressing" them.
@avalanchesoul Once again blacks are never held accountable for their own actions, it's always somebody else's fault. Your race behaves the same way every where they go.
The children are too young to understand. White has always symbolized good, and dark, has always symbolized evil...so good and bad to them is light and dark...they arent racist.
@AJDilly The point of this test is to intentionally use it on young children who can't verbalize why they think this way. What the children say is purely subconscious, and it is VERY telling about our attitudes towards other cultures and people.
"good" VS "bad" = What the media and our surrounding culture tells us to think and believe.
@AJDilly She IS racist. What you have to understand is that she doesn't need to mean being racist to be so. It's not her fault. These are values that have been ingrained on her by society, and, unfurtounately she is going to have to work hard to get rid of them. And I think that's the whole point of this exercise, to show that this values are so ingrained in our society, that even kids abide by them.
@AJDilly You're not the only one that would think this. But that is by far an over-simplification. The fact that kids are associating skin color with "goodness and badness" reflects what they are absorbing from society. So no, she may not be racist, but there is definitely subtle (not always subtle) racism alive and well in our society.
@AJDilly That hasn't always been that way, but it has been for the past 6,000+ years. Times are changing, that kid shows clearly how screwed up the education system, televisions system, how everything around us represents good as white and black as dirty or evil. Peace.
@AJDilly not always. these are socially constructed stereotypes child gets from their surroundings, parents, siblings, friends. yes,theyre too young to understand, they just repeat what they see in adults.
Blacks also help to perpetuate the images in the form of ignorant behavior, rap music and other vile abominations that assault and degrade the advancements of brave past black Americans. It becomes everyone's responsibility to uphold some level of human respect and decency. Ask the child which is good or bad, the male or female and see who she picks out. In the same way the media plays a huge role in defining an individual's outlook on an entire people or gender. Men are bad, women are good.
Eye-opening. One thought, though - What race was the adult asking the questions? Children like to please adults, and maybe they made some decisions based on the skin color of the adult asking the questions?
@1kandychimento this test has been administered by black and white researchers; the results were always the same. this has to do with how the children have been socialized. even without prior knowledge of these tests, this could have been surmised by watching the video. what's more interesting is that your comment is one of the top comments. i'm thinking backlash against the tested findings; as happens often by reactionaries. age brings objectivity, but at such an early age, damage has been done
@1kandychimento This study has been done a number of times, with both white and black people asking the questions. So good thought, but no. Also, they may or may not be racist, it's moreso pointing out the fact that these are norms that young children are being exposed to. Children are great sponges of socially accepted thought and behavior.
@1kandychimento You did see that the little black girl wearing blue was speaking to a black woman, right? They showed it right there in the video. Those conducting the study clearly were prepared for your insight.
@1kandychimento based on the voice, which of course might be misleading, but it seems they matched kids skin color with adult, white adult is asking white kids, and black adults black
@1kandychimento lol. Yeah right! You must of never heard of the "Doll Experiments" of the 1940's conducted by Dr. Kenneth and Dr. Mamie Clark. This is just evidence that nothing has changed since the 1940's.
dark is always accosiated as bad. steetfighter dark ryu, dark sakura. they stronger but look possessed. and white seems to b norm especially since most of the world is lighter and whites r on top(always shown in wealthy neighborhoods).and most cartoons r white or light and angels are drenched in white while the devil is accossiated in darkness and darkskinned ghouls and monsters.wow i think i even realized sumthing. plus here as u can see kids picked wat was like them or close.
this entire video bought me to tears. It's sickening and very painful to watch. After viewing this video, just further proves that racism is still a constant rise. The very first trial to the doll test was done back in the 19th century, and still until this day we are living in a world that is full of hate and blinded by the ignorance of racism. These children all show a lack of knowledge about another race judging by the responses they gave. This was powerful yet heart-wrenching.
It's dazzling how people here are calling the white kids names not paying attention to the black kids doing the EXACT same thing toward the white cartoons, WTF ???
One day we were driving along and we turned on some rap. My four year old from the back yelled out, "Turn that music off! That's for brown people!"
It was an observation he had made on his own. Obviously we don't use negative racist statements b/c he said 'brown' people, not black or the N word. Sometimes children make their own decisions based on their own observations, especially if they are in school.
@carolepinell all music is for all people. hope you taught that lesson instead of letting a child believe whatever unintelligent thought comes into his head.
@RasstaaHD Didn't you see the black kids doing the same thing you racist prick ? Children are never bad i find your comment disgusting, and the fact that it's liked 3 times is worrying
@RasstaaHD Lol how old are you man ? Did you see my profile ? I'm Morrocan, i'm freaking AFRICAN myself, but i hate injustice, bland and stupid statements, and racism, in both ways... your statement was racist, weither you like it or not, i know you're like 12 but you have to get this in order to grow up, bye
@Nuclearshellfirst no i didint seee your lame profile , second im just saying the white kids OH SHIT my band the AMERICAN kids wer just fucked up... and you know brotha.
@poisenwell Hello again. I think you are right and I agree with you. Your people have right to identify with their own kind, just as I identify with my Somalian people. However stereotyping people who look different from you is not right. Kids are innocent and they don't know right from wrong. In the West the Media is heavily influence on child behavior.
The kid said the "good child" was good because it looked like her. My dog barks at black people, Why? Because they look different, I didn't teach my dog to be racist
@SMLIPRT Lol I don't have kids, But what I mean is, Although people don't want to admit it, It's only natural to "dislike" what you don't find familiar. From the looks of it, This woman and her kid were probably raised in a very white area. So the kids probably not around many minorities. I'm not saying it's right, it just happens. I'm a puny white guy, I grew up in Atlanta, I got my ass beat all the time. Why would that be? It certainly wasn't because I was going around shouting "NIGGERS!!"
@poisenwell - LMAO! Apparently, you have no clue about US History in terms of Civil Rights, MLK, Rosa Parks, Emit Til, JIM CROW, Mississippi, and your KKK, etc.
@poisenwell - My WHITE father pointed many of these things out to me when I was a curious child full of lots of questions, so you can kick rocks with your bullshit. You can keep the truth from YOUR children, but sooner or later they will see how and why certain attitudes towards whites came to be, and why some are more bitter than others.
@poisenwell - LMAO! Yeah if you were born and raised in a country where racism against blacks and others was started and perpetrated by invasive, none native whites.
Did the parents and child were aware of the test before ??? It's easy to influence the results before...it's just a reality show, not a serious test....
2nd child wasnt innocent. kids dont make up "outside/inside." first girl seemed innocent, she just answered questions that couldnt be answered nicely because there was NO GIVEN WAY OUT
@TENINCHLUVABOY Im saying, is the 2nd girl was raised by her parents that they were equal (i.e. biased answer). the other one seemed to have been choosing independently of some parental influence (i.e. non biased answer).
At this age although they know it's there this is not about race but coloring. There are emotional responses to color within cultures. In some asian cultures white is seen as evil and red as feminine. Unfortunatly with western culture darkness = bad, and that is where dark skinned individuals can suffer from the bias even within the black community itself.
when we kids we prefer to play with white toys but when we adult we prefer not the go out with white women, we prefer the black women to fuck with and etc, i think there`s a problem here, but the way i am black. i dont this this doll test should be done, because kids are normal scared of the dark , of course they gona say black doll are bad.. i wonder if this doll test didnt cause any trauma to this kids, i whish they dont turn into racist people in future.
Stop with these stupid dolls tests. ALL OF US (black and white) associate black color with darkness, night, fear. While we associate white with light, day, good. If you ask little children to chose their favourite color among many, they mostly will chose yellow. Is thtat because we all want to be chinese?? NO, it's because colors have unconscious meanings and associations since early age.
i don't think the first kid is exactly racist. we tend to relate to what looks like us and a child is going to attribute good to similar to them, and bad as different from them. and the mom is right... you can't even see a face on the really dark one.
and the questions asked to the 2nd girl are totally persuasive. she did really well regardless!

Thus you will see black children picking the "lighter" skin characters because they are taught to group good to be white, light and beautiful as opposed to dark, etc. Racism is here to stay, it's ugly but it's here.

Children are the great learners of the world, and if they can learn to talk at a young age, there is no reason why they cannot learn the racist attitudes of the culture they live in. The responses of the children are very clear. Instead of criticising the methodology, maybe it is time to focus on helping black children to gain a better self-image. A lot can be learned from the self-image of black children living in African countries.

Another failed experiment. Biased and unscientific. Where was the control group of children looking at red and blue dolls? What were the correlations between their choices and identity, presenter, media and parental influence? What I seen here is a good way to brain wash children using load question that take advantage of the trusting child's inability to recognize a false dichotomy and stand up to authority.

the experiment is somehow reinforcing and rewarding children' s thinking on these level. What would have been more positive, despite the research design would be to ask mutual questions. But of course, this is an experiment with minimal constraints using open ended questioning. But of course, we can design our own experiments by changing the questions. And changing the socio-economic status of those being surveyed to see if there is a comparative difference in a significant way among them.

so basically,let us hope that using a blind experiment,where the child nor the presenter are known,and see what the results then become.I would predict that the results would be strikingly similar. That is because, media influence, self-loathing, and poor self image among children contributes to poor or negative and stereotypical impressions of others being different in comparison.

Why do the kids have to pick a "mean/ugly child?" "None of them are mean/ugly" should have been an option, as well as "All of them are pretty/smart."
Celacool 2 months ago
The older children at the end only responded the way they did because they knew that they were being judged for their opinions. They knew the "correct" answers to avoid a negative judgment. But it has nothing to do with subconscious behavior that is taught through images they are presented very early on in American culture. The social color caste system is powerful and will always benefit European Americans and demonize African Americans. It was created for that purpose.

Truth is racism will never end but parents can do a better job by teaching their children that stereotypes do not define race and race is only a factor. When t comes down to it, we're all the same.

For such a young child, that little girl in the blue long-sleeved shirt is wonderful, and has a very sound ground. The other kids, I don't think they're really racist - it's just that in life, black symbolises bad, good light (white). They just need to grow up and get instilled in some morals and virtues.

Show me the smart child. the nice child. the mean child - the only variable is color. Same clothes, same smile. There's no way for them to not pick something 'suspicious'. Just stupid. If you had a variable of looks and expressions (like a white frowning kid AND a black frowning kid on different parts of the page) then I'd say it could find something substantial. They are forced to guess what their interviewer wants and have no real options.

Not to mention that most kids are probably going to go for the opposit of their own skin tone when asked about a negative trait, and pick their own color when asked about a positive trait simply because of limited options and self association, not racism.

@angelchik54 - I'm not saying that there isn't SOME social conditioning that's possible. But it isn't necessarily about race, it's about humans associating light and dark with good and bad (good cowboy wears white, etc.). This test being as uncomprehensive as it is, and the given normal psychological patterns of children, their not having other options, etc. means that it's a drastic jump of conclusion these people are making. yes racism exists, and racists are usually taught it from childhood.
whatUneverknew 3 weeks ago
@whatUneverknew How are these conclusions even drastic? Do you live under a rock? Do you not watch TV, read books, see any social media? It is near impossible to not be socialized otherwise in our society. Your statement is a drastic conclusion, it pretty much states that if you redid this test in any society they would always pick the light doll. It has less to do about cowboys and more to do with the fact that whites are always portrayed as the "most beautiful" race in almost every media form.
angelchik54 3 weeks ago
@whatUneverknew As a black girl growing up in the 90s by the time I was 5 I was very well aware that I was not the preference. It has a profound effect on kids, children pick up a lot more than you assume they do. From every cartoon, most novels and picture books, magazines, hey even the majority of the depictions of Jesus Christ are of him with light hair and eyes (occasionally with darker hair). Kids pick up on that, it's definitely 99% socialization.
angelchik54 3 weeks ago 3
@whatUneverknew i am confused as to how it is not about race. race is a social construct based on the "color" of one's skin. it is not biological. how would learning that "light is pure" and "dark is evil" in whatever format remain unrelated to how children perceive other children? a child is going to know and say "a white, clean feather is better than black, muddy feather, but i, as a light-skinned person, am no better than my dark-skinned classmate?"

@mirrorblueocean242 - I'm not saying there isn't a problem with social conditioning. I'm saying that this test is pathetically inadequate to measure it. This is unproductive sensationalizing.

whatUneverknew 2 weeks ago
@whatUneverknew this test is not meant to rile anyone up. This is just an experiment. The fact that people are riled up says more than the conclusions of the experiment suggest, and that's the point. "Fighting" racism is not about making people angry... but people will get angry. it's at least a step in the opposite direction of systemic privilege. i am still confused as to how this test is a poor way to test for social conditions. it socially questions children's conditions.

@KumarZimmerman08 if those stats are valid, that is a direct result of the black person's history in the united states. when people start pointing fingers at black people, as if there is some biological difference that makes them "bad," they never take into account how we are all socialized in this country to think a certain way. just as white kids think blacks are bad, black kids are taught the same thing too. in schools we always said "never tell a kid he's bad, cuz it's exactly what he'll be"

@AJDilly You're not the only one that would think this. But that is by far an over-simplification.

Blacks also help to perpetuate the images in the form of ignorant behavior, rap music and other vile abominations that assault and degrade the advancements of brave past black Americans. It becomes everyone's responsibility to uphold some level of human respect and decency. Ask the child which is good or bad, the male or female and see who she picks out. In the same way the media plays a huge role in defining an individual's outlook on an entire people or gender. Men are bad, women are good.

At this age although they know it's there this is not about race but coloring. There are emotional responses to color within cultures.

Unfortunatly with western culture darkness = bad, and that is where dark skinned individuals can suffer from the bias even within the black community itself.
