A woman sat in front of a camera this week and told the internet she had witnessed a “racist baby”…
Not a joke account. Not a sketch. A straight-faced lecture about an infant who looked at someone for a few seconds – and, in her telling, revealed the original sin of race hatred barely out of the womb.
The woman declares that “watching children mirror racist behavior is WILD.” She describes a baby staring at her ‘friend of colour’, the mother looking stricken, and then announces that the child is “literally mimicking” hostility toward “black and brown people.”
She also flashes a 2012 Science Daily headline as if it were a conviction.
This is the new priesthood. A baby looks at a black person and the verdict is racism.
Anyone who has any experience at all with babies knows they stare. At glasses. At beards. At bald heads, bright coats, dogs, ceiling fans, and their own hands. They are cataloguing the world with amazement, not forming a manifesto.
