White Supremacy in the Bedroom

A woman at work told this story. She has two boys, 3 and 5 years old. One evening a couple of weeks ago she heard them yelping excitedly in their bedroom,

“I’m white! I’m white! I love being white!”

The woman was terrified. White supremacy! The kids must have been exposed to white supremacists somewhere.

Was it at day care?

Was it through Gramps who votes Trump?

Who had done this to her little boys?

The distraught mother ran to the bedroom to put an end to this celebration of whiteness and discovered that the boys had put on their new white pajamas and were expressing joy about the color of the garment and not a belief in racial superiority.

She works on campus. I don’t really blame her.
