It Takes a Village to Raise a Racist

Researches have found that kids don't necessarily get their prejudice from their parents -- it is the community that fosters tolerance or prejudice.

Shortly after white supremacist James von Brunn's fatal shooting attack this spring at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., his 32-year-old son issued a statement to ABC News in which he denounced his father's ideology and described the devastating impact it had had on his family.

"My father's beliefs have been a constant source of verbal and mental abuse my family has had to suffer with for many years," he said. "His views consumed him, and in doing so, not only destroyed his life, but destroyed our family and ruined our lives as well."

Erik von Brunn's repudiation of his father's [beliefs] runs counter to the conventional wisdom that... racists will produce children like themselves. Indeed, the movement has its share of parent-child notables, including neo-Nazi leaders Tom and John Metzger, white supremacists Don and Derek Black, and Klan/skinhead organizers Ron and Steven Edwards. But the younger von Brunn is hardly alone in rejecting a parent's beliefs — and experts say that's no surprise.

"Overall, there's not a lot of evidence that, at least in the long term, kids get their prejudice from their parents," said Charles Stangor, who runs the Laboratory for the Study of Social Stereotyping and Prejudice at the University of Maryland. "I would call it more of a community effect than a parental effect. The community fosters tolerance or prejudice."

The community has a massive impact on the growing child.  It influences their morals and values.  This emphasises the importance of Creators surrounding themselves with other Creators.  Perhaps a place could be chosen and those who are able can relocate their in order to further Creativity as part of a community

Failure to teach your kids Racial Loyalty is no different than failing to teach them that the supermodel on tv is not an accurate representation of a healthy body, or that rapping about pimping and dealing crack is not a positive lifestyle.

Every family; from the Christian or Muslim, the Communist or Capitalist to the Racial Loyalist and Creator has an expectation and standard that they want to raise their children to adopt. Very rarely does the media preach or promote the same values and standards, in which case the family needs to decide how to expose (and shelter) their children to the influences of society, while giving them the knowledge and strength to make the right decisions.

The crack dealing nigger on MTV may have come from a conservative family of Baptist preachers, where is the article in the same vein called "It Takes a Village to Raise a Gangbanger?!"
