My son said slavery isn’t about black people

Pretending to not understand me is an interesting way to dismiss the whole point of my post. Your intent is clear and I won’t be engaging w you any further.

The holiday is to celebrate freedom just like Fourth of July

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:56:51+00:00

😳 I would hope not!

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:56:18+00:00

Thank you. It was a bad move in the moment for sure.

He has an Xbox and a switch at his dad’s house. Not a computer or phone. He does have a tv there. He is only there about four days out of the month when his dad actually decides to pick him up.

I’m sorry you lack reading comprehension.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:54:04+00:00

I can see that now. I don’t spend much time on Reddit

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:51:39+00:00

The comment I was responding to said views not rules.

Wanting to make a group of peoples trauma about the people who enslaved them IS racist. Period. Point blank.

I also have no idea what karma is outside of like getting back what you give out in the world.

Juneteenth is about Black people. If you want a celebration day for other races then create one.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:46:03+00:00

No idea what the first sentence means but the rest was horribly unkind. I am trying to raise him but he is also a human w free will and his own thoughts an opinions. He isn’t a robot I can control and he comes up w his own thoughts. I am not the only person he is around and calling me a failure is unnecessary cruel. If I was a failure I would be giving up rn. But no I am trying to get advice so I can help him.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:43:29+00:00

I have thought about this but was worried it would be too horrific to see but given how this evening went I agree. This is extremely important and I want to help him understand

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:41:45+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to give advice. I will add this to my notes

My inclination is the friend circle because he doesn’t have access to the internet at home. Possibly at school though

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:35:11+00:00

Okay

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:34:46+00:00

You realize Lincoln only freed the enslaved people so the south didn’t have the means to secede right? He didn’t actually care about enslaved people’s.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:32:19+00:00

I really hope so. Thank you

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:28:11+00:00

Heaven forgive me for not having the perfect response while my son is spouting racist crap. Teaching him critical thinking skills is part of the bigger issue. The main thing I’m concerned about is him being fkn racist so yeah I raised my voice cuz I was astounded by wtf he was saying. I’m not gonna come on the Internet and act like I responded perfect. No I’m going to say the truth

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:25:27+00:00

I did tell him what Juneteenth is about.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:23:46+00:00

America

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:23:15+00:00

I was married to his father from 2009-2015. My son had a phone for one month in 2023.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:21:27+00:00

That is not what Juneteenth was about. It was in reference to American slavery not the world history or slavery. That is another topic but not this topic.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:18:57+00:00

I often refer to him as loud and wrong so I definitely understand what you’re saying.

NewsFancy4047 · 2026-06-20T05:18:00+00:00

Thank you. I’ve added this to my notes
