LEAP Into Whitewashing
At the LEAP school they “teach” (however you can) Black/African students how to like and live amongst White people. But do they do that to the White students?
I am, by no means surprised, that there would be such animosity between groups. Specially between the Black students towards the White students. It mostly comes from their families who have taught them about the historical (and even current) oppression they have faced as a result of the supremacy of Whiteness.
Thus, there are now country-wide efforts to try and mend those relationships. But at the expense of what? Triying to soften the history as if it wasn’t what it reallyw as. But it was all that and much more, because correcting the pain, hurt, and brokenness will take more than just a few classes.
