It's typically white people funding these types of causes. Does any black person actually think it's a good idea to draw attention towards skin color at such young age without giving children any context?

Children don't naturally think about these differences at all. Parents are the ones who teach them to focus on it. They real lesson should be that skin color is not important - Not that it's so important that you need a fancy box of crayons to represent all the tones accurately... That is insane! What next? Are we going to start punishing children for misrepresenting people's exact skin tones? They can barely draw accurate stick figures.
