@Rhielm Kids understand more than most adults think: racism, sexism, abuse, addiction, cheating...They may not have labels, but they know.

A young child might not have a name for what they experience but they KNOW racism or discrimination when they experience it.

8yo black kids have already had convos with parents about police interactions, starting from toddlerhood. These kids are in STL.They know.

Some of the replies to your tweet explain why you just tweeted what you did...smh

Cop car rolled thru local park, as usual. White kids keep playing, still loud. Black kids, frozen and silent. Right here in small town CA

I think they're old enough to understand killing is wrong... and getting away with it unscathed is fucked up.

I grew up in the South, hung out w POC & heard my white friends' parents talk shit about POC & watched a lot of those kids digest the lies.

Look at around at the cluess ass kissing adults f*cking up the world to pass the baton to them. They smell bullsh*t & so can animals.

Folk?

Yes, they do, even as early as kindergarten.
