Four year old cries a girl doesn't like her 'because I'm black'

ST. LOUIS -- A video of 4-year-old London James in tears has nearly eight million views on Facebook. The child is crying on camera saying a girl doesn't want to be her friend because she's black.

Tomeka Merriweather says she recorded the video of her daughter on Thursday, December 4th, after she picked her up from Kidsplay.

Kidsplay is a preschool and daycare facility in Manchester. Merriweather says she recorded the video to show the teachers that she wasn't making this up. She says at least three teachers at the daycare saw the video.

"One of the teachers told me they observed the little girl playing and they asked her about London she told me the same thing, that she didn't like her because she was black and that when they told me they were going to talk to her father," said Jaimie Simms, executive director of the Kidsplay locations in Manchester and O'Fallon. Simms says this incident is not a reflection of the daycare.

I believe the white child needs a lynching. It’s only fair given how she treated the slaves.

Maybe they could pass a law requiring four-year-olds to like little black girls. And if they don’t, they can beat them or subject them to electroshock or some other “treatment” until they understand how troubling their lack of tolerance is.

” They don’t have a filter when they talk, and they do notice people that look different and they do have an instinct to avoid those people.”

I remember walking to school at 6 years of age in the early 70’s. Up until that point, I had probably never seen black people. I do not ever remember the family ever talking about black people, though I was raised not to be prejudiced. Occasionally there would be a small group of black teenagers walking the opposite direction while I was walking to school. Every time I spotted them blocks away, I always jumped the wall into some random persons backyard to hide until they had passed. I was absolutely sure in my head that those kids would beat me up if they got their hands on me. Those were probably the first black people I remember seeing, and had no experience and had not come from a discriminating house hold, but my very first reaction was fear.

Quick we need a video of a 4 year old little white girl crying because a black kid does not want to be her friend. There are more racist blacks in this day and age than there are whites. This is not the 1960’s anymore.

Someone named Tomeka Merriweather has a daughter she named London James? I wouldn’t want a kid of mine in that daycare.

London and/or the other kid were most likely prompted by adults. They were probably friends a month ago.

This is merely further proof (as if more is necessary) that LIBs are mentally impaired.

So what’s the school going to do—FORCE the other girl to be the black girl’s friend?? In the name of decency (political correctness), of course...

This daycare is just down the street from me. Relatively middle class area no where near Ferguson. Not looking forward to this all.

The other thing to know is this daycare isn’t a typical daycare in that they’re open 6 (maybe 7) days per week. They do offer the normal Monday through Friday childcare,but in addition they also offer ‘drop in’ hourly care - if you’re a stay at home parent and want a few hours out to shop or to go to a doctors appointment, etc. You don’t have to have a long term ‘contract’ to use their childcare.
However, like I said, this is a relatively middle class area. It is predominantly white, but there is a good mix of diversity here as well: Black, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern. While I have my own opinion about the way people choose to live or carry themselves, I’ve made sure to not make references to skin color or any derogatory remarks in regards to race to my children ever. I don’t believe skin dictates who person is, its all about attitude and belief in one’s self.

You’ve got to be carefully taught - early and often.....

It seems to me that most four year olds don’t know squat or care about racial colors.

She’s being groomed early for a huge racial discrimination case in 20 years or so.
