As I was sitting in bed last night, I turned the television on to Nick at Nite. A show that I had never seen was playing, called Everybody Hates Chris featuring a teenage African American boy as the lead character. Within the first minute of watching the show, a clear demonstration of white supremacy was displayed while Chris was in school. He was the center of attacks by three fellow students and one teacher. Quick segments of each interaction showed that the white students all felt that they were better than Chris. The first minute of this video displays the relevance of white children thinking they are better than black children. What are television shows teaching young children?
