Racist parents make their kids say the darndest things
by Carmen Van Kerckhove
Wow. Not only did this make it to CollegeHumor.com, but it has been rated a “National Pick,” which presumably means a lot of people like this video.
They titled it “What? She said sparkling wiggles. What did you think she said?”
This guy should win an Anti-Racist Parent of the Year award. Not. (Hat tip to Meera.)

That is just horrible. I truly believe that passing hate down to your children is a form of child abuse.
Hopefully the little girl won’t try out her cute little phrase around the wrong people…

I wish I could say I’m horrified but I’m just sad for this little girl & her parents. And the fact that this clip is so popular proves that racism is indeed not gone.

In my own experience it is fairly common for whites to use the n-word.
When I was growing up, I heard it fairly frequently from classmates

I feel bad for the children who will be affected by this. All it takes is one racist person and a bunch of passive “I don’t see anything wrong with it” people for this racism problem to prosper. Can’t wait til they are almost extinct.

I second what Rachel said. I heard white kids use the n-word all through my school years, and I see white folks— educated, sophisticated hipster types—utter it all the time. White folks have never stopped using the n-word. The YouTube boards alone are all the evidence you need.
And white folks still deny that racism exists? What mass delusion are they living in?

That is a shame. Crazy how they thought that was a funny enough to post for the world to see. I am sure that child will be embarrassed when she grows up and sees what her parents forced her to do. As for the parents, and American in general….400 years+ and the battle still exists. Peace and Unity people, peace and Unity!

Sickening. Also sickening is the abundance of extremely racist comments on response videos like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJaQ6peXdUI&mode=related&search=

So it wasn’t Hip- Hop that taught white people to say “nigger” as Don Imus asserts but something that whites created to keep Black Folks in some level of cultural inferiorty OH THE HORROR !!!!, at least she said the racist variation of the word. Black Folk need to look inside out not outside in. Some White folk want to embrace their inner racist whether it’s approving of this girl’s racial rant or famous whites like Sela Ward and Gay White Men embracing Shirley Q. Liquor’s blackface routine. Getting mad will increase your blood pressure.

That’s so disturbing, I hope those parents are ashamed of themselves. God—I just feel so bad for the kid, I really hope she won’t turn into a racist, but sadly–it looks like she may in the future—considering what her parents are teaching her. What incredibly stupid parents.

I think it is very disturbing that children are taught racism at a young age… however i also believe the use of this word is hard to get rid of because the black community continues to use it, N**** is a very shameful word and should not even be used by black people because it shows how slavery is still effecting their lives.

This is so deeply unfunny I don’t know where to start. First, there’s getting the kid to say the phrase in the first place and taping it. Poor taste to be sure. Then pairing it with stuff like ‘get a job?’ Wow. Since the kid is way to young to understand the implications of it she is being manipulated to say something very adult and very ugly. Who wants to put these words in the mouth of a child? Who uses innocence like this? That people think this is something to tape and disseminate over the internet makes me cringe. Why?

What made me even angrier than the video itself were the comments on YouTube. The prevailing attitude seemed to be that if you find the sentence “Get a job, fucking nigger” offensive, you’re some kind of oversensitive pansy. WTF?! Racism plus false dichotomies equals I want to strangle someone.
