Jenny in Florida Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Here's hope for the future: http://www.dailydot.com/lol/kids-react-cheerios-commercial-race/ "The video is part of a Fine Bros. series that has kids, teens, and elderly people react to viral videos, news stories, or trends. In the disclaimer before the video, the brothers write, “The insights of children about these issues can give incredible insight into where our society really is and where we are headed as people.†When told that people were angry about the mixed-race couple in the commercial, the children display genuine confusion. Kids as young as 4 understood that love is love. “It’s just the color of their skin, what matters is if they’re nice or mean,†says one. “I thought Martin Luther King spoke against this and fixed this already,†says another. “[Marriage] really just depends on their heart and if they really love me.†“Underneath it, you’re literally the same. You have organs and a heart.†One freckle-faced kid named Morgan says simply, “Some people just fall in love like that.†" Seriously, you HAVE to watch this. It made me cry (in a good way).

Tabrett Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 My children and I feel just like the kids in the commerical. I thought the commercial was very cute with a normal family. I believe it is the organizations that are supposed to promote equality that are actually promoting racism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 That's a great video. All of the kids are articulate and adorable! My kids reacted the same way when we discussed it, but we're also a mixed race family :) . My son also had the opportunity to express his feelings regarding having gay Boy Scouts in his troop. He said the majority of his troop had no problem with allowing boys that are gay in the troop and those that were opposed did so due to religious conviction. It led to a very good discussion, according to my son, and I'm happy he could be a part of it. The future looks bright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
