What other conclusion will a kid draw once they notice the grownups saying all of the right things while also never considering buying a house in a black neighborhood?

"Golden retrievers are the most gentle, loyal dogs you'll ever see!" (So you're saying that personality traits within a species are the result of breeding?)

The kids will say all the right things -- the very people feeding them the Red Pill have taught them to. But then, at some point in the near future, their actions will blindside you.

Talk to them. Now, before it's too late. Actually, that's Step Two. Step One is listening.
