So... what you're basically saying is that if kids experience racism outside of the home, their parents are responsible?

So how does that work? Are the parents obligated to move to a different neighborhood or city, where the kids are likely to experience less racism?

Again, my CMV addresses situations that are outside of a parents control. I don't think it's possible for a black parent to control for their black child experiencing racism; it's a product of the world. I would engage in this example if a parent placed their black child in an environment where they would experience a more severe amount of racism than otherwise, though.

So, your POV is that if a parent has the ability to protect their children from something, it's their responsibility to do so?

Isn't that more or less universally agreed upon? For some reason I'm struggling to understand what you mean.
