If you have children, please do not teach them this garbage. Words can be far more damaging than violence. If someone breaks your arm, you'll wear a cast and it will heal in a few months to a year at the longest. Some words can haunt you your whole life. Imagine growing up hearing that white people are garbage. They're lazy, drug dealing, thieving, scum and as a white person, you will never amount to anything. Hear it often enough, from a young enough age, it could easily leave you despising your own race and wishing you weren't white. Words can be harmful, that sticks and stones saying is a lie.
