    It's pretty sad and if you think we live in a post-racial society you are not facing reality:

    These attitudes persist and are extremely destructive - and I think points to the fundamental problem in our society.

    Where did they get the information that black parents do a better job than white parents at preventing societal stereotypes?

    They were clearly posing a question based on the answers.

    That test is forcing them to give racist comments. Do you expect a little kid to stop and say "I'm not going to answer that".

    I remember as a child, probably up until middle school, I didn't see race, or know any stereo types based off of race at all. We where all just kids in my eyes.

    Once middle school statted, I could clearly see segregation amongst different races, going to a prominantly hispanic and black school I was often picked on for being white. At the same time, due to the demographics of the school, all of my friends where and still are to this day hispanic and black, which helped me learn that, everybody is a individual.

    Kids are just much more nastier in middle school, its the time that their old enough to do really bad things, but young enough where they haven't learned how to treat people with respect.

    I don't get why it's on black parents that their kids aren't successful but it's not on white parents for their kids having bias.

    How do you guys explain that there is a strong bias against black kids by white kids and it persists as they kids age? This clear shows a systemic problem.

    This generic response adds nothing to the discussion.

    Great OP.

    Yes, we see on CF itself there are posters expressing (to their children?) ideas like: "Everyone has equal opportunity in this country. It's just that African-Americans, as a group, make more excuses and are lazier than the rest of us." I hold them responsible for what they teach their children.

    Where did you get that?

    That's not what I heard. I heard that black parent might be more diligent in fighting bias while white parent might not see a need.

    They should include the two largest and fastest growing minority groups - Hispanic and Asian.

    It is in the second video. Did you not bother to watch the videos or do you always comment without researching the topic of discussion?

    I'm sorry that you cannot help intelligent responses. Did you miss the straw man you put forth or should I highlight the exact sentences with big bold text in all caps for you?

    Sensitive much.

    Somehow, you think I pulled "I heard" out of thin air and not from the video?

    Ok. I went back and rematches that part. It is closer to what you say it is but they still offer no supporting evidence for the claim.

    I think when they said MIGHT, it imply a guess, don't you think? They aren't claiming anything. And it's not any person, it's Cooper, a news reporter.

    You have a stronger statement and so I asked where you get that, thinking I might have missed it.

    What strawman? Do you even know what a strawman is?


    The point of the videos is to show bias exists in our society - I am not even assigning someone a viewpoint so by definition I can not be using a strawman.

    Please tell me that you are not just picking up on one minor thing in the video to dismiss the real point of them.

    "Straw man."

    How about saying something specific to this thread topic, if you can think of something.
