Synopsis

Part of the Ordinary Terrible Things series, a white child sees TV coverage of a police shooting—and has some questions.

Not My Idea is a sincere look at racial hierarchies—usually unspoken—that exist in America, and kids notice. It’s a gentle primer that helps white children see how white people have been socialized to see themselves as outside of conversations about race—and thus not part of ending racism. It’s written for children, so it is simple enough for adults to understand, if they are curious and open to new ideas.
