Wanting your kid to have positive black role models is not racist, no.

Voting for or against someone because of the color of his skin is racist by definition. You don't get to choose which color.

I imagine that you'd want to choose some particular definition of racism that meets your semantic needs, but that's not how this whole "logical use of language" thing works.

Not teaching your kid that character and political philosophy matter more than the color of a candidate's skin is bad parenting.



Then I guess I love being a racist. Yay for racism! It's super-awesome.

Check your motherfucking privilege.
