Talking Point #9
4-11-12
“Seeing Color” by Lisa Delpit talks about how kids can be saying a lot of insult to one another by not knowing what they are saying. Kids these days can be like that. A lot of jokes can be an insult to one another but then again it just a joke where kids play around but sometime it can hurt the other person by just one little word. Even I do that sometime without knowing but I apologized after, but some would be like oh well, it’s just a joke but it’s not just a joke. You’re hurting someone feeling. When I read the statement “in one instance a little white child told a little black girl that she looked like chocolate pudding” makes me think like “WOW” just a little kid can think like that. For me if I was there I would have been said that “don’t say that” and tell him to use a nicer word. And at another point I don’t get why the author uses “white” and “black” when they can make up a name instead of calling them by their colors?
