You knew that RFK, Jr. wasn’t playing with a full deck, but I doubt if you knew that his worldview was this skewed. Kennedy has a formula for Black kids growing up. And he’s convinced it’s foolproof. And in point of fact, he might be right. Here’s the thing, though: In order to find out if Kennedy is right, you need to give all the Black kids what Kennedy had as a kid. Yes, it’s as simple as that. Just have each Black kid born into a Kennedy-esque family with tons of money, and privilege, and loving relatives. Yeah, that should do it. People born to that don’t do crazy things like kill bears and leave them in parks. Oh, wait…..

Ahem. So let us review, class. Kennedy says:

  1. You can’t get rid of racism but you can teach resilience;
  2. Resilience is a given if you’re born to stupendous weath and privilege;
  3. Just make sure that all Black children are born to wealth and privilege and there’s no problemo;
  4. Whut?

That’s as far as I can parse it. And don’t forget, that’s just for Blacks. White kids and gay kids have other solutions. For white kids you burn books so that they don’t know about the kidnapping of slave labor from Africa, and for gay kids you eradicate all references to gay anything and pretend that they simply don’t exist.

Did I get this right?

What an unbelievable clown. And we are in for four years of this. Or, who knows. Kennedy may be put at the door. If we recall nothing from Trump’s first go round in the Oval Office we well recall that the turnover rate of people in his cabinet, staff, world at large was unprecedented.

Maybe that won’t happen this time because they’re all baseline crazy. Maybe this will be a lunocracy, government by the insane. Never before tried but we’re going to give it a go starting in January.
