At GMP, Ira Booker initially was concerned that his three-year-old son was a racist. But he talks himself through it and decides that his kid isn’t a bigot. Thank goodness because what would the neighbors think. He writes:
At the dinner table the other night, my wife and I were giving our son Selby the usual grilling about his day at preschool. He told us his favorite activity of the day was playing with two of the other boys in his class. These weren’t two of his usual sidekicks, so we asked why he liked hanging out with those particular kids. He smiled and said, “Their hair looks like my hair!” My wife and I exchanged a glance. The fair-haired friends Selby referred to were the only other white males in his class. Did we have an unwitting, three-year-old segregationist on our hands?
1. Selby
2. “usual grilling about his day at preschool”
3. “white males”
4. “three-year-old segregationist”
I will admit, though, that I was a little disappointed to hear that the boy was hanging with the other white kids. Again, this stems back to my rural upbringing. By the time I got to high school, I actually had a few classmates of color – not many, but a few. Once I was old enough to self-identify as a liberal, it became something of a badge of honor to be seen hanging out with my non-white friends. It didn’t take long for me to realize this was silly and more than a little racist on my part, but at the time it seemed like a rebellion against what I saw as the hopeless redneckery of my peers. As lame as I know it is for a white guy to brag about having a black friend, some small part of me still wants to be able to brag about my kid having a bunch of black friends. Fortunately, that nonsense doesn’t figure into Selby’s day plan. He plays with whoever strikes him as the most fun on any given day, giving precious little thought to his father’s creepy idiocy.
This sums up race-whipped liberals: “Yeah, I know it’s ‘lame’ or seems kind of racist for me to do this, but since I’m being honest and acknowledging my shortcomings then it’s OK…right? Right?!? Someone tell me I’m right!”
This is the
second article within a week posted at GMP by a father who was scared that he’s raising a racist kid. In both instances the kids were three years old. I’ll chalk it up to the overkill perpetuated by the internet which provides an outlet for every idiotic argument and lolling introspective query. These are toddlers; kids are notoriously inquisitive and they are just beginning to put patterns together. They will naturally gravitate towards someone who looks like them. They are developing an identity. The fact that they have a face and hair is the most fascinating thing in the world; they’re attracted to others who share similar traits. None of that really needs an article wondering if this means that the kid is racist or weird or anything like that. I’m cynical, so I see this as nothing more than a deep fear from the fathers here that they’ll look bad. And you give them a platform in which to write something and these types of things will make their way up to the surface.

Gavin McInnes on Street Carnage did a cute video about how his baby is racist. Adorable!

Notice the pointlessly meandering narrative arc in this type of personal essay: see something personal that’s alarming — self deprecating introspection — “whew”. It’s an effeminate writing style typical of an unworldly, approval-seeking species of liberal.
At least Peter Biehl sacrificed his daughter to a suicidal ideology post-mortem. This guy tests the waters at his child’s toddlerhood.
I hope my kids are racist by age 3, saves me a ton of work teaching them about it
He should send his three year old into the ‘hood to teach him a lesson about being racisssss.
There are only two possible choices for whites today – become a racist, or become food for the negros and spics.
The father is weak and he is killing his son. It would be kinder to physically abuse the child, feed him raw sewage, than to damage his identity.
His son, growing up in BRA, will see the two alternatives. He will get no protection from the white teachers, his “father”, or the conservatives. His only choice will to be submit or to go outside the system, to WN.

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ll pass on that kind of cute male bonding.
…a rebellion against what I saw as the hopeless redneckery of my peers.
By engaging in…hopelessly “niggerish” status mongering???
I would prefer he had a daughter who could present him with more than a few “grandchildren of color”.

They’re just White male wussbags flaunting their “sensitivity” toward the “Original Sin of Whiteness”.
Every religion has it’s show offs.
Selby sounds like a girl name. Pa’s right. This self introspection is effeminate. If I was his wife I’d tell him to go chop wood or something.
In-group preference is perfectly natural, but whitey gets shamed for it, because the guilty white liberal is the bread and butter of the Democratic Party (despite all the recent crowing about the minority gap, whites remain the majority of Democratic voters). Whites, especially white men, voting along racial lines would quickly destroy the current identity politics.
T.R. wisely noted that there isn’t any room for hyphenated Americanism, but that advice seems to have been left quite far behind.
Unlike Ryu, I really don’t think bunker-mentality white nationalism is the answer to the present state of affairs. By all means, avoid becoming prey to the urban thuglets, and don’t dissemble about your personal flight to suburban whitopia. Protect you and yours, since self-defense is a natural right, one recognized by the Constitution, but recognize that a racially homogenous nation-state is not.
I love the numbered list of red flags. I pictured a little “ding” sound going off in my head each time I read them.
Their ‘hope’ that the child is not racist is ultimately a wish that his race be destroyed and die out– all in the name of social status climbing and trendy thinking.
The child is in a class with ONE other white child and the parents refuse to see this
They are both fools and very selfish.
That’s called celebrating ‘diversity’. And that’s what its doing—celebrating everything that destroys and dispossesses white people and their societies. Talk about hate and envy–diversity is a codeword for it.
AFrica for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone!!! NO!!
This is geNOcide.
I left the following comment there but it’s awaiting moderation:

Thabo, it would interesting to hear your colleagues thoughts on the matter now. Or have they been raped and murdered by the families of those maids and gardeners?
“‘Their hair looks like my hair!’ My wife and I exchanged a glance. The fair-haired friends Selby referred to were the only other white males in his class.”
I call complete BS. This is a complete fabrication. Never happened.
A while back I read a news article about a black guy that claimed some dog was racist because it always barked at him.
Pure hipster posturing and self parody. He identifies a problem with his kid that he never really believes is a problem, for the purpose of showing that he himself behaved well as a kid (but as even he sees how lame it is to pat himself on the back he undercuts that by calling himself ‘racist’ – though of course he never believes that he himself was really racist).
Even the headline looks like it comes from The Onion – “Father Unsettled by Kid Hanging Out with Other White Kids”.
And as ERekshun says the words used by the kid are transparently false. So the whole thing never happened anyway.
“A while back I read a news article about a black guy that claimed some dog was racist because it always barked at him.”
Well, it was a 1982 movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Dog
Got to be the most articulate 3-year old in history. Maybe the kid’s a future journalist.
So does the article talk about the race of the other kidz? I can’t bring myself to even click on it, but I’m curious if the others are black kids or Asian, Hispanic, whatever.
Because if they’re black, there could be a very good reason why ** cough ** Selby doesn’t want to play with them. Here’s a little clue as to what….
Jimmy Kimmel did a bit where parents videoed their kids after telling them they gave away all their Halloween candy. It’s totally adorable and hilarious, and worth watching for that reason. But watch this video with HBD in mind. See if you learn something forbidden.
LMBAO this is not real. Some guy trolling for laughs.
P.s. Clarence, if you’re there, I’m having issues with FB.
Clarence is away on an assignment with Promoting Justice. I think he’s their fluffer-boy.
“Once I was old enough to self-identify as a liberal”
Too bad your kid won’t be able to even make that choice, with a name like Selby.
When I read this “…a rebellion against what I saw as the hopeless redneckery of my peers.” I thought he must be a fellow southerner and I fully understood the need to rebel against the arrogant hicks that are so prevalent but then I thought “Wait a second, the rednecks and hicks are all proud negrophiles” so I don’t know where this guy is at but I don’t think he’s an honest player.
A parent’s primary job is to keep their children safe and teach them to make good decisions based on how things ARE. Don’t underestimate your child’s ability to see what is really going on. They CAN see it. Our children are swimming in hypocrisy and double-standards. However, unless you intervene, your child will be trained by the system to NOT see what is right in front of their eyes. Trained to begin a lifetime of believing lies without question because its the “right thing to do”. Trained to be moral cowards.
There are appropriate conversations that can be had at all ages. Point out the inconsistencies. Empower them to think for themselves and not accept that something is true just because their teachers, preachers and TV say its so. Ask them if that hand that is always thrust in our faces asking for more more more, is ever going to give back. Ever going to stop blaming. Ever going to stop attacking. The answer is no, its never going to stop until we say enough.
Our boys especially are struggling, not achieving, dropping out because they have been robbed of their identity, had their history rewritten and culture condemned. They are constantly bombarded with guilt inducing horror stories explicitly blaming them for exaggerated atrocities taken out of context in order to rob them of any moral authority to stand up for themselves, much less their race. They are islands alone, passing through the night on their game systems, conquering meaningless fantasy worlds, while they drift like ghosts through the real world with no compass. If you have a child, be a father. Build a vision in your child that doesn’t lead to nowhere. Defend them against all evils. They will rise to the challenge.
The only person I’ve ever known named Selby was black. Did a guy named Ira really name his kid Selby?
If liberals conclude that racism is hard-wired because babies and toddlers are naturally racist, they will insist that this can be overcome with proper reprogramming. But somehow, they consider that homosexuality is hard-wired but we cannot reprogram people to overcome it…
Actually, it pretty much does, given freedom of association, and federalism. It doesn’t explicitly forbid this from happening, which means it is allowed.
“Our boys especially are struggling, not achieving, dropping out because they have been robbed of their identity, had their history rewritten and culture condemned.

I do agree that white men are constantly under cultural and moral bombardment.
But come on – it’s absurd to argue that white men are “struggling, not achieving, and dropping out” because of what Salon.com and Ivory Tower anti-white liberals are pontificating about. If a white boy drops out of school or can’t show up to his work being a plumber, then that’s on him – 100%. Stop making excuses like the NAMs.
One winning comment and the prize to Laura for funny:
PA: “Notice the pointlessly meandering narrative arc in this type of personal essay: see something personal that’s alarming — self deprecating introspection — “whew”. It’s an effeminate writing style typical of an unworldly, approval-seeking species of liberal.”
Exactly. This kind of wingeing approval-sucking-up is repulsive. He must know it.
And Lara:
“Pa’s right. This self introspection is effeminate. If I was his wife I’d tell him to go chop wood or something.”
My daughter after 2 weeks in middle school saw that the black kids were different. Dirty language,violent behavior with all of their other disgusting habits like grabbing her food off of her plate. She decided she wanted to get away from them soon as possible. Yep, my daughter is a racist if you call it that. And i didn’t make her one. It doesn’t take long for an intelligent not brainwashed human to see what they are. White youth will see what they are before its too late.
Interesting, Ira Booker has the same name as Newark mayor and NAM Corey Booker, and named is son Selby. Maybe Ira has some kind of kinky fetish.
Anyway, if Ira continues this kind of mistreatment of his son, Selby, then I predict Selby will be a Knock Out King victim, and probably more than once.
Ire Booker should be arrested for child abuse.

Our children are under attack the moment they set foot inside a school, private or public, the moment they sit in front of a TV. Its not the ivory towers or Salon columnists that do the damage, they simply reinforce the message that is injected into innocent minds from kindergarten forward. They control the frame that our children will use to see the world, the rest of their lives, a frame that states, “You are inherently evil and dangerous, you have proven unworthy, step aside your time is over, all that is wrong with the world will disappear once you are gone”. This frame competes against a humans natural self-interests and creates a dissonance that can overwhelm. Is the plant to blame for not growing if it gets no water, or the farmer? If I’m blaming anyone, it is the parents who trust the system to raise their children.
I have a couple of elderly died in the wool liberal relatives. Of course they’ve never actually lived among NAMs. They recently moved into a condo complex that has a large section 8 component and they are quickly becoming fed up with the wonders of diversity. They couch it in euphemisms and sensitive language, but I can see their eyes opening.
@JS: I had a similar distant relative, a Manhattan liberal female. She moved to FL and got a job teaching at an alternative school. That changed her mind about blacks very quickly. She’s still very liberal on all other issues though.
@JS: Your elderly relatives should move; it may save their lives. Seriously.
A famous story in my family is that when i was was 2-3 i supposedly pointed at an older black woman in a mcdonalds and excitedly exclaimed “Look Mommy!!! a gorilla!!!” RACIST!
Stupid fucking Americans…
