Sounds to me like this child is repeating something that is being said to him. Kids don’t want to play with him b/c he is brown…he is now deflecting that pain onto other children. It takes a very strong child to be placed in an environment where they are a minority – kids always pick on the one thing that makes you different. For this child it’s his skin.

Oh wow really the kid comes up with it himself says the parent. Please I know kids enough to know that what comes out from their parent is what comes out of them.

I think this is what happens when children are placed in environments where they’re the “onlies”. The majority, regardless of its makeup, will usually single out the only. Although there are circumstances when it might be unavoidable that a child will have to be in this type of environment, I can’t imagine why any parent might find that desirable. There is no one to defend or identify with him. A child’s self-esteem takes a beating when he/she is singled out or picked on by a majority. It’s never enough to teach a child of color that “the color or people’s skin doesn’t matter”, because as soon as they go out their front door, or turn on the TV, someone will make an issue of their race/color. This is why it’s necessary for parents to instill pride in their children, to counter all the negative stuff they’ll face from other people.

He came up with this on his own?
