The title says you, but it doesn't really feel like this is to you.
Greta posted a video showing some people from Lebanon who had to leave their homes.
There was an article I read in maybe 2011~2014. It was two 'black' females talking to each other, and one of them mentioned her young son, and made a comment that referenced something like 'the age at which they're no longer cute'. Reaction from the other female, a shudder or something.
Many people view adult 'black' males as dangerous. Unnecessary personal anecdote, in Dec 2010, after I tried and failed to meet Mei, I went to Hotel Seattle (the hotel right next to the library was twice as expensive) and signed in to their Wifi in the lobby after getting a room, and while I was there I heard some noise outside, so I went to investigate, leaving my computer. It was a large group of 'black' males, probably young teenagers, moving through the alley next to the hotel, and when I saw this I immediately turned to avoid them.
So if Obama did know of this idea, I'm disappointed he did not do something to reduce the rate of crime in the US, which would lead to fewer people avoiding places where 'black' males can be found. (Some 'black' people don't want to be associated with poorness and violence, compare this comedy skit by CalebCity that has nothing to do with 'blackness'.)
So I did a search for 'tv tropes kids' to see if anything relevant would come up, and the first page of Google results has both Children Are Innocent and Kids Are Cruel.
Also, how many people don't know that kid is the word for a young goat?
Anyone who wants young people to be treated better than they currently are should share this idea. (Anyone who wants older people to be treated better than they currently are should share this idea.)
Do I want Greta to share the idea right now? If I don't talk about this, I might be letting people assume that I have an attitude that would seem morally correct, even if I don't have that attitude.
I don't want her to share it if you like me, because it seemed possible that you weren't talking to me because of the possibility that other people liked me, which made me think of the plan 'what if no one liked me'. If I want Greta to share it and she doesn't share it, then I need to convince myself that she doesn't like me, but I can't do that if I haven't yet convinced myself that you don't like me. Since I haven't concluded that you don't like me, I don't want Greta to share the idea right now.
