Maybe I'm uber-skeptical, but I remember that rash of phony restaurant receipts posted on Facebook, etc.. With made up racist language resulting in Go Fund Me pages that duped thousands of, well, Fools.

This article looks fake to me. I never met a 6 year old boy who would react as this one allegedly did. In fact, the Writer could have easily fabricated the message, written it himself, to look like it came from a 6 year old.

I bet he did just that.
What story from CNN ISN'T fake? They spent 3 years of Russia! Russia! Russia!

What's sad is you started this thread.

Did you see that young PR couple who were pulled from their car in Chicago and executed?

How about the black kids who were almost killed by a black gunman who was trying to shoot another black man?

There's video of both these events so their authenticity is indisputable.

Better yet, their political power is valid but the demomedia machine doesn't want to emphasis it. They'll distract you with with fake news and excuses like CRT.

Edit: I can't post video of these events because Youtube pulled them for "violating TOS."

Finally found one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPG295dq2mA&t=73s

I found this quote of particular interest.


I know that my child will probably one day look back on this incident as the first of many. He will recognize it as marking the beginning of a lifetime of being the target of some people's hate because of the color of his skin. I know that his bafflement will turn to hurt and his hurt will turn to fear. I know he'll gradually lose his easily trusting nature and his expectation that he will be universally appreciated for being caring and funny and enthusiastic -- just for being him. And I can't bear it.
This is what some young white boys and girls might be saying after it was decided to teach CRT in 1921, in the Biden era. It might go something like this, actually this happened "mommy, some kids say I'm an "oppressor", that I'm "evil" because my skin is White". Are they right? And many of their teachers, even the White ones, will say "you're damn right you are and there is nothing you can do about it but live in eternal shame that you were born White".

The white skin color cannot be oppressed and are racist.

That's beside the point. children can be ruthless towards one another and be down right cruel. but racism is learned, not by other children but by adults who have been tainted by the world.

The article doesn't really pass the smell test. If something smells like a skunk, it's usually a damn skunk. It just comes across to me as a dude using his kid for some attention to further his own agenda and to put his name out there while the world is full of racial strife. It would have been much more credible if he wasn't so over the top about it in his opine.
