He said that "all Black kids" are put on drugs, are violent, need to be "taken" from their homes, and must be sent to camps where they won't have access to phones or screens. In other words, no access to the world or their parents.

Slavery. RFK, Jr. is saying that Black people "need to be" slaves because of their inherent attributes and inability to be good parents.

It's hard to imagine a more racist statement. This is who these people are.
