4-Year-Old Was Bullied For Being Black. You Will Never Un-see Her Heartbreaking Reaction

What words can I say here? I have nothing but empty rhetoric. I suspect that most of our readers will feel the same way.

I’ll leave it with this baby’s words and with her mother’s words.

“A 4 year old is crying her eyes out.. I don’t know what to do or say! A girl at her school told her this…. it’s so heart breaking to see the pain that racist stuff like this puts people through!”

I’ll add this: this mother’s recording of this needed to happen. People need to see this little girl’s devastation. Everyone needs to see it. This video needs to be viral. It need to become a part of the fabric of our culture. Kids need to see this. And parents need to see this.

Racism is not a problem, eh? How will this child internalize this? How will this affect her life and her self-worth?
