Except the talk starts at 3, when you tell them to go to a shop owner or an employee for help rather than the police. And then again in a few years when you have to tell them not to walk around with The hood of their sweatshirt up. And then a few dozen more times over the next 10 years when you have to explain to them why doing something in public that white kids wouldn't get a second look for doing is a really bad idea.

I'm indigenous Canadian, brown skinned long haired big tall dark 100% Ojibway Cree on both sides of my family from northern Ontario.
Unless you are white Caucasian, dealing with law enforcement is always a risk. As a teen and young man, I was always a suspect every time I dealt with the police, a criminal that had to prove on my own that I wasn't. And I was one of the lucky ones because I had a lot of older family look out for me. So many of my friends who didn't have the same protection just ended up miserable as they got trapped inside the system. They grew up being treated like criminals that no one was surprised that they became criminals.
I want them abolished.
Indigenous canadian?! That's kind of racist
probably a cop
kind of racist
kind of?

41 shots, Lena gets her son ready for school
She says, "On these streets, Charles,
you've got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you, promise me you'll always be polite
And that you'll never ever run away
Promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight"
Is it a gun? (Is it a gun?)

No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American skin
I want every American to hear this and be angry.
I'm glad we had sex ex in school before that class got shut down by the parents that wouldn't even be affected because they homeschool their kids or have them in rape-church private school.
I feel bad for black people though. I remember as a kid being at a friend's house when his little brother got pretty much this talk.
I feel odd about sex ed in school. On one hand I believe it to be such an intimate topic that goes beyond basic reproduction which is what the school will only teach. The discussion should cover romance, intimacy, and emotional intelligence, but that doesn't happen unless the parent is teaching it. On the other hand I know that many just wont do it at all, and the school teaching it is better than a large group of people just not knowing.
This being said Id never argue against sex ed, the people who do are dipshits.
American civil war never really ended
Oh, it ended, It was just never won.
Remember, slavery in the US was never abolished, just obfuscated.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Yep.
I'm white as Wonder Bread and I remember hearing my daddy give that second talk to my big brother, word for word. Being as he's white, it did work to keep him safe when he was arrested. For young men of color, the record shows it doesn't always work for them.
The small text for accessibility:
the daddy gives the mommy a very special gift. The gift of a brother. Daddy has a penis, and Mommy has a vagina. He sticks his penis into her vagina, and Mommy has an egg. Sperm comes out of Daddy's penis and that comes into contact with the egg. When this happens, the sperm enters the egg and it causes over time for something to develop inside Mommy. Nine months later, the gift is delivered. Timmy, this is where you came from eight years ago. Lorem ipsum [...]

White people need to tell their kids not to trust cops either
Edit:fixed
White people need to tell police not to trust cops either
...Hol' up..
Ah carry on.
Actually that's true too. Any cop that tries to do the right thing becomes an enemy
I like the original version better. No one should trust cops, not even police
username checks out 👍
you could ask mine at 5 and he'd tell you why you can't trust cops and to not count on them for anything.
I hate this so bad. "Surrender yourself to any abuse the pigs come up with so that they don't shoot you in the ditch"
