If you took a child to see the movie barbie, don't be mad if they think they ain't 💩

Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? To such extent you bleach, to get like the white man. Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other? No… Before you come asking Mr. Muhammad does he teach hate, you should ask yourself who taught you to hate being what God made you? ~ Malcolm X.

Children are very aware of and susceptible to the damage racism can do to the mind, heart and soul. I'm convinced that Melanated parents have to take extra steps to protect the minds of their children in a society that will teach them to hate themselves from the moment they are born.
