Children without Childhood

Like a Mothercare catalog, children acting like adults without the irony, wit and charm of a Peanuts is a delight for pedophiles who can then assume children are no more than little adults and just as sexually-available through the age-of-consent appearing to be no longer relevant. Almost as if Whites want their children to grow up as quickly as possible to minimize the costs of raising them.

Whites divide the world between winners and losers; making their upbringings traumatic because of obsessing with being better than others despite the fact that no matter how good you are, there is always someone better - a recipe for psychological disaster.

Worse many of the parents here live through their children and want them to be successful to appear the ideal parents they are not. Yet these issues are neatly evaded by the simple process of projecting-and-displacing such tendencies on to a Western ethnic minority.

The needy dependency this all engenders in White adults - and its creation of a superficial culture - is so often the subject-matter of dramas more mature than this. A product of a culture and a people without an basic philosophy worthy of the name. The Brady Bunch was better and, somehow, less embarrassing.
