@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if…

Age appropriately that was my main situation here . Some people like to twist shit and get into deeper situations nobody asked for - but that was mainly the situation thank you

@momtoboys1516, yeah i think if they saw it through like Sesame Street or a book it would explain it really well .

please don't take this the wrong way but in the initial post it was very confusing what you were trying to say and get across. It seemed like for every comment you were defensive...or your kids and you already do that...just because your kids HAVEN'T said it yet doesn't mean they won't. My own daughter hasn't grasped the concept of racism but it doesn't mean she won't one day. Just try to stay ahead of those questions and use books/media to start conversations in age appropriate ways that they will understand.

@momtoboys1516, meaning like different cultures and what not . Because the tip of it we’ve addressed in accepting etc

that was my question - what u stated last , i have someone attacking me because i haven’t explained it yet when i was really asking opinions on the matter how others might have handled it or when they did . I’m defensive because non of those statements had anything to do with my question . It wasn’t to question my parenting it was to just give different ways to explain things or when to explain things age appropriately .

oh i know my kids will ask one day and be more aware , my question was when to discuss it and opinions of others , this had nothing to do with any of the other things the other poster was commenting .

she was answering your question from what I saw initially. At one point she said from birth and it seemed like you didn't take her seriously but she was correct. It should be done from birth in age appropriate ways.

and i said okay , that’s her opinion and that’s it . That’s all i asked but that’s not the only things she said lol . But okay

it's really not an opinion though. It's a fact. I did my undergrad in child psychology and I took several sociology classes along the way. What she stated was absolutely correct. Children should be taught from birth.

okay , thanks

no problem. I'm always here to help 😊

exactly. She doesn’t get it. Because she either doesn’t want to. Or is unwilling to 🤷🏼‍♀️. Not my fault.

and from birth with my eyes Born. in Israel myself : I saw numbers on relatives arms I didn’t understand at age birth but,young childhood that many of our family numbers were stamped for life and those numbers overtook a person’s soul besides their burning of their family member s&being raised in new York I was lucky to be surrounded by many dif culture s and saw all people for their right to be here and be free and appreciate to live together in America,not sure why you sound like your picking on @itsamemario it’s up to all of us as parent’s &human beings in general to care,help other’s ,show empathy and compassion no matter someone’s race !

excuse me?? I was hardly picking on anyone so you can step aside. I was only letting her know that what she thought was an opinion was a fact. (She should be teaching her children from birth) And that as a Jewish person she should be the first to realize that differences in people and racism are directly related in THIS country...if you didn't see the original post that she made than you can have a seat.

yes I saw it and I am an Israeli Jewish woman thanks so I too speak from my experiences.

okayyyyy still not sure what that has to do with me and what I said🤷‍♀️...but your opinion that I was "picking on" her is wrong...almost like she was wrong saying that what someone had said was simply an opinion but it was actually a FACT.

They really do see color.

My almost 4 year old grabbed a baby doll and was like this looks like gabbie (my nephew).

So kids definitely see color and it's kinda ignorant to think they don't.

I blocked itsatmemario because she decided to post about homosexuality being against her religion during Pride month which was petty petty so I didn't see the post.

holy shit? For real?

Oh yeah originally she was posting about how you can't have "old fashioned values" and when asked to elaborate she said homosexuality. Sex etc stuff against her religion.

Like it's pride month you're going to see posts. You deal with it 1 month out of the year deal with it 🤷🏼‍♀️. Posting that was petty 🙄.

Like I knew it was against her religion but you couldn't wait a month....

then she should join the reformed Jews. Where they love everyone and have gay rabbis 😒😒😒

Based off the comments she tried comparing being Jew to being black ... Am I getting that right?

No one is going to know you're Jew unless you tell them. You can't hide the color of your skin 🤦

basically. Yes.

besides that she was saying her kids don’t see color and when or if she should introduce it to them. I believe kids see color and differences. It’s natural and from the start you have a conversation with them and teach them early how to be accepting of everyone and how to treat people. Explain to them age appropriately about racism and what’s going on.

@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts

Oh they definitely see color my girls will play with everyone because they were raised not to teach someone different at birth. It doesn't mean that they don't see color.

The baby doll my daughter picked up at the house was black. She didn't compare it to her or her sister but to my nephew who is biracial. So she definitely knows that their skin is different.

My daughter is only 4 .... I'm pretty sure her kids are older so if my daughter sees color then her kids definitely do to 🤷🏼‍♀️

honestly, I feel like she had on several occasions compared the plight of blacks to that of Jews, it's so not the same. If you don't tell someone you're Jewish, no one knows you're Jewish. There's was a meme a couple years ago, it was supposed to be a joke, I didn't get it, I asked one of my friends what made the meme funny they said because it alluded to a certain last name (gosh, I thought it was distasteful so I don't want to go into the whole thing, so this might seem to make no sense...) that is prevalent among a certain people. It is a fact that people have lied about their religion to avoid being targeted and harassed... can't do that with the skin you're in. I can't believe Jewish people think they aren't white, they may not be Caucasian, but they are white 🤷🏿‍♀️

It definitely not the same. She hasn't sat down with someone who is black and talked to them. Hear their first hand stories. It will change you.

That's exactly what I said. She can hide that she is Jewish. You can't hide it if your skin is a different color.
