Do kids of color need safe havens?

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Maïmouna Obot tweeted: "What's wrong with those white folk who regularly come to the playgroup for kids of color with their children? Like 'we are Germans with Russian heritage and therefore not quite from here, either.' 🤡 Just leave us our safe haven, we and our children need that empowerment."

Cristin Bents replied: "Yep, I've witnessed it so often over the past ten to twelve years, sad that it's still like that 😞. The point is that the kids are simply meant to be by themselves and then white kiddies are cavorting about there. 😥"


Is that an example of blatant anti-white racism, do they actively promote some sort of segregation/apartheid? Or do black children really need a safe space where they don't have to dread the prospect of facing anti-black racism?

Maïmouna Obot has protected her Tweets in the meantime, by the way...

Yes, but who are they and why should we care

They are nobodies, but the hashtags #RacismAgainstWhites and #Segregation were heavily trending on German Twitter again (just like every two weeks), and Obot's Tweet was the bone of contention.
Green voters, SJWs and the Antifa couldn't agree more with her on her complaint and insulted all normal people, who regarded her insistent request as a first step to neo-segregation.
I was just curious to know what left-leaning Atlas may think about this issue.

Half Italian, a quarter Irish, all Catholic. Do I answer in the "white" or the "other" column?

Some years ago, i would have said: It depends on your genome and on your skin pigmentation. Nowadays I have to say: Look into your heart and follow its advice...
Btw, how come Atals developed such a fixation on connecting one's skin color with their denomination?

Because as we know, Protestantism is the denomination of capitalism and Northern Europe.

I adore capitalism and Northern Europe.

Am I allowed to call myself a legit WASP, by the way? I'm Caucasian, I live in the area of the original, genuine Anglo-Saxons, plus I'm an Evangelical Lutheran.

Anyway, coming back to the core issue of this topic:
Do "kids of color" need safe havens in order to grow up carefree?

I don't make the rules, but your case may be aided by evidence that you ski or play tennis.

Where I live, there are no mountains and therefore no ski slopes.
I've never played tennis, but I was in a table tennis club as a kid, and I was watching an ice-hockey match. LIVE! Does that count?

Why did you change the title of the thread? Now it's basically asking the opposite question as the poll, which could get confusing.

After Cathcon's and AtorBoltox's subtle complaints I thought the title could be a deemed a bit to controversial and some member might winder why I posed a question concerning two nn-famous ladies. The question if they are racists

Adults should absolutely not encourage racial segregation in playgroups, school, etc.  Sends an awful message to kids. Younger kids are generally not as prone to strong racial identity as a barrier to friendship, and that should be appreciated and encouraged.

If kids at some point feel they are more comfortable to just be around those of the same race some of the time, they are free to seek that out themselves.

Exactly. Your post reminds me of a Tweet by Obama, once the most-liked Tweet ever, now No. 3 in the all-time ranking.

This entire thread feels quite Bronz-ish to me to be honest.

I think you're the fourth to compare me to bronz, albeit in a positive way this time. And I still don't know what character traits led to his ban.
