I understand"we shouldn't be the ones to teach them" cuz no black person should be

explaining themselves on thew train


but who will. Because our experiences and stories are personal
and we do not want someone who doesn't look like us to speak
on our experiences but we also dont want to be the ones to say so.
We cannot have both sides. While someone doesn't teach cultural enlightenment
theres someone always teaching racism. this is just something we would have to grit
our teeth for. I think the idea of a student - intervention group (specifically of
minorities in the school who
can articulate their views and teach kids is a better solution than harsh
consequences that will make them a code switcher)
Black people ashopuldn't have to code switch but i digress while the child's brain
is still developing it is better to train them in a school setting not
to continue this cycle for our kid's kids to deal with and have the same
conversation. Teenagers learn more from their friends than teachers if you think
about it.
the way they say their words, the slang they use and social skills. Having a non-
authoritive figure makes it easeir for the problematic person's views to change
instead of getting defense or having an adult force you into a position that you
dont agree with. All an adult telling you what to do is ill just not say it around
"them" so i dont have to hear this again. but the cycle still continues
