Had to be this, right?

White children playing Monopoly should be given more money and less jail time, to teach them about racial privilege, councils have advised parents.

Given that the game itself was designed to show the evils of landlordism and rentiers and thus the true justice of the One Single Tax, Land Value Tax.

  1. Presumably, black and Muslim children should be given unlimited ‘get out of jail free’ cards. And the ‘you’ve won £100 in a beauty contest’ card never appears for black females.

  2. Making kids play Monopoly should count as child abuse. It’s a bloody tedious game, as are all games made to demonstrate a political point rather than being fun.

  3. The first step it shows in Mattel’s guide to raising antiracist children is “Ignore discussions on race”

    Then we get to the contradictory: “One example includes playing Monopoly but giving white children more money and allowing them to “avoid jail” in order to “explain white supremacy and privilege”.

    The message should be that the best to “avoid jail” is not to commit the crime.

  4. Muslim children should be allowed to collect Jizya, and black children can grab handfuls of other players’ money.

  5. You are a racist if you “consider child and self colourblind “.
    MLK must be spinning like a top.
    It’s the deliberate atomisation of the people – everyone must be in a special group, and our group is the eternal victim so we need special treatment.

  6. Surely in the London version the white children should get less money each round to reflect the fact they are less likely to have a council house and so have to pay more rent – and have less money to invest?

  7. The guidance on how to “raise anti-racist children” was created for Barbie manufacturers Mattel with the help of a BBC education consultant.

    Why would I want to do that? My children are extremely racist, because they’ve got eyes.

    No, they’re saying you’re “complicit” if you do this. That means you’re guilty of something.

    There should be an “Extremely Racist” option:

    * Still call it “the Chinkies”
    * 8 year old boys make funny jokes with a packet of Chocolate Ngers
    * Little Britain DVD
    * Granny’s golliwog dolls
    * Fuck you

  9. The Budget Special Edition dispenses with all payments of rent and the Free Parking square is now a wealth tax demand for 10% of the player’s cash. Euston station is closed for HS2 modification and landing on Kings Cross will entail a £100 fee for sexual favours.

  11. Add another couple of squares that whites are not allowed on: “get stabbed” (probably need more that one!) and “fuck your cousin”

    And a few cards they’re not allowed to pick up “go straight to the stone age, do not pick up £14 trillion” and ” go straight to the seventh century (try not to blow yourself up on the eay)”

  12. Julia – Magnifique.

    Ms Henry-Allain is also the author of the children’s book My Skin Your Skin, which states on one page that: “Racism started a long time ago when white people wanted to have more control over people who were not white.”

    You see, de Wypipo invented racism so dey could steal all dem wonderful black inventions. Gib me money and an MBE.

  13. Isn’t this 4 years old or so. Produced around the time of the BLM riots.

    Interestingly saw the details on the Mail as have binned the Torygraph.

    It also asks parents to be ‘uncomfortably honest’ and acknowledge if they have ever made a racist comment or done anything racist

    Yes – tolerating political leaders that allow their functionaries and unelected civil servants to peddle this kind of crap on the taxpayer’s dime. Otherwise I’d hazard there’s almost no white racism in the U.K. virtually every racist comments or policy is directed by people of minority ethnicity – without exception.

    as well as examining their own potentially racist behaviours by asking themselves questions such as: ‘So you draw your child closer to you when you pass a group of black youths?’

    Depends on what they are doing – if they are arguing Zombie knives Openly or I am at celebrations of multiculturalism like the Notting Hill Carnival then Yep.

    In a section aimed at parents of children aged 0 to three it suggests reading picture books and playing with dolls which represent black characters and playing music from different cultures but to ‘avoid only singing songs steeped in white culture’ such as Ba Ba Black Sheep.

    Why would I do that? To appease someone who thinks ‘anti-racist’ propaganda should be taught to pre- school kids?? She can go fuck herself and quite frankly she ought to be sent back to wherever her parents arrived from. I couldn’t give a shit if she was born in the U.K. – as far as I am concerned she is a fifth columnist along the lines of Shamima Begum. She can have her British nationality removed and be sent packing.

  14. ‘Less jail time’

    People pontificating on how Monopoly should be played demonstrate they’ve never played Monopoly.

    There are only three ways to get out of jail.

    1. Pay $50 at the start of your next turn, then roll and move as normal.

    2. Use a Get Out of Jail Free card at the start of your next turn if you have one (or buy one from another player). Put the card at the bottom of the appropriate deck, then roll and move.

    3. Roll doubles on your next turn. If you do, you’re free! Use the roll to move, and that’s the end of your turn. You can use up to 3 turns to try for doubles. If you don’t roll doubles by your third turn in Jail, pay $50, and use your last roll to move.

    Only the last one has a ‘time’ and its just how many times you can try to roll out without paying – fail three times and you just pay $50 and you’re done.

  15. VP – I am grateful to Mattel for proving that”antiracism” is straight up harmful to children:

    acknowledge and understand white privilege
    White privilege is a racist conspiracy theory that white people’s achievements – and only white people’s achievements – came illegitimately, at the expense of other races, which means your property and money should rightfully be given to the Diverse. If you teach this to your children you are burdening them with unearned guilt for things they didn’t do, and didn’t happen, or did happen but they deserved it, while opening them up to resentment, hatred and violence against them from the other children for carrying the stigma of “white privilege”.

    I don’t wanna Godwin, but it’s a bit 1930’s You-Know-Where to teach the kiddos that some races are evil, no?

    Because, what else are you supposed to take from this statement:

    “Racism started a long time ago when white people wanted to have more control over people who were not white.”

    Imagine writing something similarly accusatory and inflammatory towards an entire race of people that isn’t white? “Bicycle theft started a long time ago when the government let in (cont. page 3)”, or “The worst and most persistent slavers in the history of the world were the” how quickly would you be cancelled from this planet, never mind given gongs and juicy commissions?

    educate children to use their voice against racism
    Brainwash your children into apologising for existing.

    seek opportunities to form connections with bipoc communities
    Nah. Btw that’s creepy as fuck. Imagine your name is Kwame and you’re minding your own business one day when some simpering white weirdo comes up to you and starts apologising for all the fuzzy wuzzies who got killed by Michael Caine in Zulu (1964). Awkward.

    learn about black history
    I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave some moments ago.

    support antiracist leaders, causes and share actions with children
    Indoctrinate the kiddos into a cult that hates them.

    Be constantly vigilant for fairness and equality
    Never relax.
