1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: Let's go buckle up and hold on tight. We got 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: Hate comes in Small packages. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: a sixty two year old African American grandmother, and this 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: past weekend, I took my five year old granddaughter, who 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: I called baby Girl, to a playground in La because 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: the weather was just so beautiful. I kept a close 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: eye on my baby girl, and I noticed troubling body 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: language between her and a little blonde girl. Moments later, 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: my baby girl dropped down on all fours and started 11 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: crawling like a dog in the sand as three other 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: white children laughed at her. I rushed over to them, 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: and the children ran off. The look on my grandchild's 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: face hurt my heart, and I could tell she was 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: being bullied, but didn't realize it. She told me that 16 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: she was fine and I let her continue to play. 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: The blonde girl and her crew went back over to 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: where baby Girl was playing, and one of the boys 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: had a small ball and he threw it then told 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: baby girl to go get it. Baby Girl went and 21 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: got the ball, and the little blonde girl yelled to 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: her several times to drop it. At that very moment, 23 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: I stormed over there to reprimand somebody else's kids. The 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: little blonde girl's dad came over and introduced himself and 25 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: excused the behavior as it's just kids being kids. As 26 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: I stood there with this man, his little blond daughter 27 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: told baby girl that she did not like her braids 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: and she should undo them because she does not live 29 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: in Africa. Without flinching, Baby girl grabbed the little blonde 30 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: girl by her neck and slung her to the ground. Yes, 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: baby girl, Yes, I felt relieved and ashamed at the 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: same time. When the dad said that this was unacceptable behavior, 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I told him that this was just kids being killed. 34 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: My precious granddaughter cried all the way home in my 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: back seat. Later that night, I caught my granddaughter trying 36 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: to take her braids out by herself, and it broke 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: my heart. How do I explain this type of hate 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: to an innocent child. I don't have the words. Please help? Wow, Yeah, 39 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know this type of behavior 40 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: is taught. You know this, it's taught in the home. 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: It's you know, I mean, that's usually where it starts, 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: because I mean, you've seen this experiment before. If you 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: put random kids of different races andicities together in a 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: room or wherever. They usually gravitate toward each other and 45 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: play together. Because kids are innocent, they don't have any 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: racism in their minds or in their bodies. They're innocent 47 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: of all of this. These this behavior is taught. The 48 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: best thing you know, you can do as far as 49 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: teaching your granddaughter is just build up her self esteem. 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: You're a sixty two year old African American grandmother. You've 51 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: been through racism, you know. It is like you know, 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure to be called the N word and to 53 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: suffer races. Those lessons you just have to prepare, as 54 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: we all do. We have to prepare our children that 55 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: this is a kind of world we live in. These 56 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: are the kinds of things that's going that will happen. 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: But just because you know, and bullying is also a 58 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: part of this, you know that's wrong as well. But 59 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: you you have to teach her just like certain things 60 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: like racism and things like that, starting the home. Teaching 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: starts in the home too. Making your children aware of 62 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: what kind of world we're really live in, unfortunately, is 63 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: what we have to do as parents and grandparents. Steve, 64 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: I know this letter is not a good one for me, 65 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: because you know, like I said the other day, now 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: we got a strawberry, lets deal with some racism. I 67 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: actually grow weary of constantly addressing the colored situation in 68 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: this country. So let me just get my answers going 69 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: to be very short. Anybody can chime in that wants to, 70 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I probably knowing me. I'm glad I'm not in this 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: letter because when the man came over and said it's 72 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: just kids being kids, then we've just been two men 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: being two men. You know I'd have choked him out. 74 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: Do not put yourself in this letter, I said, you know, 75 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: I said, y'all, I'm just gonna have to ask you 76 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: to excuse me, because I told you this was not 77 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: a good letter. I don't like this type of stuff. 78 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: And now my reaction to stuff like this racism has 79 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: always been violent. I've never not responded to racism violently. 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: When I was in college faced with it, I reacted violently. 81 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: I just don't. I'm not good at that, and so 82 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: my answer won't won't fit on the radio at all, because, 83 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: like I said, when he came over there and said, 84 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: kids will be key, okay, But what is me and 85 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: you though you ain't gonna be yeah, because we were 86 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: not kids. Oh we men. Well let me share you 87 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: what me and me and men do. Ye. So you 88 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: know that's that's all man, That's all I got to say, 89 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: because you know, it just it's sickening, it really And 90 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: when you hit this happening at a young age, you 91 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: know that being taught this, Yeah, so now here comes 92 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: you mean, it's another generation like this on the way. 93 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: That's sad because we've seen that experiment so many times. 94 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: When you put children in a room, they always play together. 95 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: They love each other, they play. They don't know anything 96 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: about racism. And it's darker skin or you know, lighter 97 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: skin or blonde hair or dark hair. They don't know 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: anything about that. They just they just play together. That's it. 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: As it shouldn't be taught. It's taught. I went through that. 100 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I went I was a little girl and I was 101 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: living in Chicago, and I came to Houston to see 102 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: my grandmother for the summer. And I was seven years old, 103 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: and my mother warned me that I might hear the 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: inn word because I had never heard that before and 105 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: seven at seven years old, my mother didn't use the 106 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: N word in our house, so I never I didn't hear. 107 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: I was shocked that she said that I would be 108 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: exposed to that and this little girl my name. I 109 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: didn't know it was wrong and I got out in 110 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: public at twelve. It was just me and my mother, 111 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: so you know, when I got to the daycamp. Long 112 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: story short, When I got to the day camp, we 113 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: were going on a field trip to the amusement park 114 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: and the little girl said, well, I'm not sitting next 115 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: to her that in word, and yes, yes, I couldn't 116 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: believe that. After our girl, Carla dude though, I ran 117 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: after her on the playground, pulled her down by her 118 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: hair and went in and they had to call my 119 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: grandmother and they kicked me out of the day camp. Sorry, 120 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: thank you for sharing. This is uh. The subject is 121 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: hate comes in small packages. These are kids being racist 122 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: in this letter written in by a sixty two year 123 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: old African American grandmother who took her five year old 124 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: granddaughter to the playground in La of all places, Well 125 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: you think it'd be a little bit more liberal and well, 126 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: I mean there are on a lot of things out 127 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: here apparently not that though.

I didn't even I didn't know 133 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: white people went to school until I went to college. 134 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: You just now, I mean, you know, look, I'm just joking. 135 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: You know. Of course I knew they went to school 136 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: because they had better schools than we had. But I 137 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: went to Kent State. I had three white roommates, and 138 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: it was culture shock for them. For them, not for me, 139 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: because I you know, I worked with whites on my 140 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: jobs in high school and all of that, and you know, 141 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: I watched him on TV.

But when this 169 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: when when practice is over, you come around and get 170 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: water from the water bottom and the coach squeezes it 171 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: in your in your mouth, and they always put me 172 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: in Kevin at the end. And my daddy was picking 173 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: me up from practice this day, this first time him 174 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: picking me up, and he saw what was going on, 175 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: and he was livid. He was livid. All I knew 176 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: is I saw my daddy going off on the coach 177 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: and I was like, man, I'm gonna get kicked off 178 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: the team. And next day, I know day had practiced. 179 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: Me and Kevin we first in lane. I was like, whoa, 180 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: what what did my daddy do tighten them up? Yeah? Yes, sir, 181 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: well I think I think two. You have to talk 182 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: to your kids because you know, I'm a young daughter 183 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: and she her friends. You know, she just had a 184 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: sleepover and we had three little white girls at our house. 185 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: She has black friends, she has Asian friends, she has 186 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: Indian friends. And these kids they played together, they hang together, 187 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: they danced together, they go to school together. But you 188 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: have to talk to your children. You can't avoid the conversation. Yeah, 189 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: about racism, and you have to talk to him. And 190 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: I remember Tasha saying when President Trump got elected, it 191 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: was kind of like a little change with some of 192 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: the kids, like some of the boys and stuff at school. 193 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: Because she found herself defending President Obama he is because 194 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: they was like, he's not a good president. He was 195 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: a good president. What are you saying? You see what 196 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It kind of brought out a different type 197 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: of conversation that she had never right because when Obama 198 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: was black, she didn't even know that the president wasn't black. 199 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: But I wanted to say to you, Carla though, when 200 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: you told your story earlier about your mom preparing you, 201 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: and usually that's what black parents have to do with 202 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: their kids, if they have to prepare them. Look, you 203 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: may be called the N word. Uh, there's a such 204 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: thing as racism. We have to have those kinds of 205 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: conversations in our family because or else, well, well you know, 206 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: it'll catch us by surprise. We don't know that, you know, Steve, 207 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: You didn't know that these guys didn't want to be 208 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: in a room with you because their parents didn't want 209 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: them in the room with you. You didn't know that. 210 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: But you know, you know, the sickening thing is the 211 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: conversation that my father had with me going to school 212 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: and how to deal with race to racism.
