What does it feel like to face a world that questions your humanity before you even understand what that means? Imagine being six years old, dressed in new clothes, and carrying fresh books with a heart full of hope, only to encounter barriers built by centuries of prejudice. This episode takes you on a heartfelt journey through a single day in the life of a young child growing up in a racially charged society. You'll hear about the simple joys and harsh realities that shape their innocent experiences, from wishing on a penny to facing hostility on the way to school.
We’ll explore the inner resilience these young souls muster to confront systemic racism, illustrating how ignorance can both shield and expose their fragile innocence. Expect a candid conversation filled with poignant moments and a call to action against the deep-seated biases that continue to haunt our society. Listen as we contrast the purity of childhood dreams with the heavy burden of racial discrimination, and be inspired to challenge the injustices that undermine the humanity of children everywhere.

Picture this picture that July 20th 2024, 1138 AM. Picture this six years old. It's a school day, brand new clothes, books and suitcase. Wonder how the kids will say hello, scared because they don't want you to go. Kids will say hello, scared because they don't want you to go. Not the kids, but folks around the state, the country still at war for this debate, Worried how the teacher is going to grade. Still begin the day. All smiles, no shade. Ignorance is bliss. Ignorance is bliss. Walking down the street, just found a penny. Make a wish.
Speaker 1:Grown man shouting at your skin, mad because it's black and that's that. No other offenses, no previous encounters. These people want to keep you away and they barely have anything to say. But no, no, you are not allowed to sit next to my white child, six years old. You have to bring down doors that are hundreds of years old, doors locked down by those who believe black skin makes you a threat, a criminal, A problem, less than another person. But really, skin is just an organ on another person. That's it. Another kid excited for recess. Another kid excited to leave the house. Another kid raising hands to impress teachers. Six years old and the world wants to destroy your humanity. Can you picture that? You?
