The Comedy Club incident is where Michael Richards from the Seinfeld sitcom spewed out a ridiculous amount of racial prejudice onto heckler. So, if all of these people have children are they teaching them racism and white supremacy? Jane Elliot experiment clarifies a great deal in her experiment. This racism can be seen in Nazi literature in the writing of Count Gobineau, the father of Racist thought circa 1850. And it must be added he was speaking of Europeans of that era. This ideology would pass into the fields of biology anthropology and psychiatry. Count Gobineau, claims, “All civilization started with the White race”. Adolph Hitler had similar beliefs. What were the consequences of that belief? He would storm out of the stadium in 1936 when the great Jessie Owen would disprove his racial theory. Yet, to this very day the literature printed during this era remains in use and it producing Skin Heads. So what impact does this have on a child of color? Who are cognizant of this mind-altering disease as early as four years of age this claim is made by Mary Ellen Goodman. According to Kenneth and Mamie Clark, both of who are psychologist Doll experiment it is in Brutal. Prior to exploring that question, for the record the size of a brain has no impact on the person ability. Yet, this misconception is in emblazoned on the minds of many. There is a guy in the experiment who is heart breaking.

This white supremacy ideology has him not wanting to visit his daughter at school for fear of how the children will treat her after his visit. This gentlemen stand with a straight face and explains, that his mother, grandmother and wife are white; he is African-American and no mention of his father. Jane Elliot is in the United Kingdom during this experiment, literature can be found in the early 15^th and 16^th centuries exposing this development of this ideology. This ideology is toxic to such a degree it starts destroy children as early as four. Racism exist in America and will continue to exist up to and until it is laid on the table and discussed without feeling impeding the progress. Jane carries out her experiment first with children, then with Adults. The sight of how quickly these children began to exhibit vicious characteristic is mind altering. This makes it easy to see how nations can grasp this ideology and become murderous. Adolph Hitler suggest that, “ If you are going to tell a lie “Tell a big one until it become believable” and racism is a lie fortified by every method possible.
