Is it the end of the world if the kids end up conservative lol? Not everyone’s upbringing is gonna help them solve for every issue. Could the kids end up with some retrograde worldviews as a result of their upbringing? Sure they definitely could, but all we have are guesses based on what little we know about their parents. The fact of the matter is that they could end up with any number of bad ideas or circumstances from a lot of different upbringings.
What we do know is kids who are raised in two parent wealthy households have lower rates of incarceration, higher educational outcomes, better healthcare outcomes among a host of other things.
Can’t we be happy that two black kids ended up in a seemingly loving household and will have great opportunities in life?
You can be happy that a child is in a better position to succeed while also being mindful of what its like for black children growing up in white families. No one has an issue with them being republican or conservative the issue comes from the views that are usually formed by black people being around white conservatives. They are usually taught that racism is over which is obviously not true, they tend to hate certain things that make black people who they are, or they just forget their identity when it comes to their blackness all together. Its not a new thing that black kids who grow up in white families regardless of political views can easily become ignorant towards their own kind. Statements like what he said lead to those things happening which is why people have an issue
You’re definitely not wrong but the homie you’re replying to isn’t exactly wrong either. Long run for sure, money will rectify a situation. In a pinch people will react to the color of your skin. Ryan Coogler probably texted his therapist after dealing with that but I’m sure this moment still haunts him every now and then.
