* Professors who seek to discipline the minds of young people so that they can become professionals in their line of business seek to focus the people's minds and displace all thoughts on their subject that don't stand up to scientific scrutiny - A Physics professor has "Unscientific Reasoning Displacement Syndrome".ĬF- "I was going to say "thanks" up until the last line where you infer that I have a "syndrome". * Military boot camp sergeants who exact discipline, prompting individuals to focus on being soldiers have "Civilian Behavior Displacement Syndrome" She had "Non-Quality Time Displacement Syndrome" * When I was in college and unfocused romantically my girl at the time used to say "I don't spend quality time with people who are not serious". IF seeking to apply DISCIPLINE to a group of people where they are made to PRIORITIZE the important stuff is a syndrome then let me tell you about some other "infected" people. I was going to say "thanks" up until the last line where you infer that I have a "syndrome". Racial displacement syndrome: an emotional disease that stems from a preoccupation with identifying racial displacement, and racial displacers. The study showed that children's ideas about race change little from age 5 to age 10."The fact that there were no differences between younger children, who are very spontaneous because of where they are developmentally, versus older children, who are more thoughtful, given where they are in their thinking, I was a little surprised that we did not find differences."ĭon't be surprised professor Spencer it's called the real world.
"Spencer was also surprised that children's ideas about race, for the most part, don't evolve as they get older. Don't front, you have all heard that black parent: "Tenisha get your black nappy headed ass over here before I tear you a new one." I don't know what goes on in some white homes with their little children, but I watched CNN, so I can only guess. Most of this behavior is learned right at home. So where do they get it? We can't blame it all on television and marketing. This isn't a schoolyard fight that takes a racial turn, not a vestige of the "Jim Crow" South these are American schoolchildren in 2010. A white child says a black child is dumb because she has dark skin. A black child says a white child is ugly because he's white. "(CNN) - A white child looks at a picture of a black child and says she's bad because she's black. (Maybe even the people producing the show. We didn't need some fancy University of Chicago professor to do a study for us to realize colorisms lingeringĮffect on all of us.
As a result,we live our entire lives with society's twisted projection on us or projecting our own messed up pathologies on others. Some of us, like the children in CNN's program, sadly buy into what society is selling in terms of what beauty is supposed to look like. And, as a result, we get in where we fit in within the grand scheme of things as human beings. We learn to appreciate people for who they are and not how they look.
) Most of us end up falling in love with ourselves and who we are as we get older. (Lately I have been thinking a lot about our children, and for all the wrong reasons. Colorism is real, and, sadly, it effects our children more than anyone else. The "Doll Test" might have been over fifty years ago, but it might as well have been yesterday. Of course it isn't anything new for those of us in the know.
Nobody not really alicia keys youtube series#
My man Anderson Cooper (him of the very white hair) is running a series on CNN which is eye opening. (This is coming from someone who calls his blog the Field Negro.)īut sometimes when other people start talking about colorism and how it affects A-merry-can culture we can't help but talk about it. Honestly, I would avoid it if I could, because lord knows we- as black folks- have enough stuff that divides us. I always hate to blog about colorism, because it always opens up to all kinds of craziness from black folks.
