How should parents teach their kids about racism? By Lauren Aratani
...
Many come to the teens’ defense, saying that kids will be kids; as adolescents, they have and will always do some stupid things. “Until 10 minutes ago, it was broadly agreed in our culture that kids are allowed to do some dumb things because they’re kids,” said Kyle Smith for the National Review in response to the backlash against the students from Covington Catholic high school.

I know stupid people who would say - “now, you cannot even make fun of people, joking around” .
They see fit, for them to tell lies about you, as long it makes them feel superior.
Now, why should I care about such crass?
To start with, I have meet with college educated folks who are ignorant about DNA (It is about their DNA, he said - You SEE, I remembers all the stupid things you have said - thinking you were hurting me. I do not remember your name, it is how irrelevant you are.), race.
People do not even know what racism is.
I overhear once, a colleague at work (someone I've never met before) telling that I do not like to be called a nigger. As I was about to speak to him, he exclaimed aloud for me to hear - … And I am an Alantejano (related to a region in Portugal). I decided then, to just ignore the fucker. You know, where there is a place called nigger, if not in his mind?
But regardless IF any opinion (racism Is an opinion, and anyone’s entitled to) can be damaging, racists are inherently cowards and insecure fuckers. Without an apparatus (the use of minions or proxies, the state, etc...) for them to operate, they are inoffensive.
