Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a controversial statement suggesting that Black children have an "immunity" to racism, implying that systemic and societal discrimination does not affect them in the same way it does others. His remarks sparked significant backlash, as many critics argued that they ignored the documented realities of racial bias, inequality, and historical injustices faced by Black communities. The statement was seen as an attempt to downplay the effects of racism on Black youth, prompting discussions about privilege, historical context, and the lived experiences of marginalized groups.
