There's a video going around called "Why are they Black?" Where a white white (European?) girl is in a park with her white mother. In case you haven't seen it and don't want to look it up, here's the jist:

White girl sees a black girl playing with some kind of pottery wheel and a black mother watching her from a bench. White girl asks her own mom, who's on the phone, why they are black, which gets the black mother and daughters attention. White mom gets off the phone and scolds her daughter for asking

"Sarah, don't say that!". White girl- "But why are they black?". Mom goes off on a touchy-feely speech about how black is beautiful, which it absolutely is, and God made them first, which yes the first people were black. She says God made his "first baby black" and fell in love with it. Mom also says black is "pure". While this is happening people say black mom is glaring at the white mom but that's probably just her face in my opinion. Then white girl looks disappointed or "like she's second best" as one commenter put it and asks why they're white. White mom pauses and says God was walking through a park and saw one of his black children making a doll from white clay and had gotten covered in the clay *camera pans over to black girl playing with pottery wheel* "God was amused by this" and made white people, or as she puts it "all the shades of white" which I guess includes all the other ethnicities? White mom then goes on to say "but inside we all are Black. We all are same". White girl smiles over to black mother and her daughter and walks over to them I guess to play with the black girl.

Poll question is what do ya'll think of this video? I'm needing a controversial topic to write over and this video could do.

Would you teach your kids this exact message or would you change it up?

Do you like that she used religion in her message?

Would you prefer something more scientific?

Do you feel she lied to her daughter either by adding religious views into her explanation, or because she didn't quote the bible at all?

If you would change anything what would it be or would/have you used a different explanation? Share if you want! I need secondary opinions for my paper. Add anything else you'd like to say too. Appreciate it ladies!
