kids and racism

Maybe thats a west coast/surfer/hippie/tech thing idk.

Bro, dude. Not "brah". ;-)

In case any of you didn't already have a snappy answer to your country cousin's question of "How come they can say it and we can't?", feel free to use my son's experience as one practical, everyday easy-to-understand example, which I admit, doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

ugh what a drag this is. daughter is only 3, blissfully unaware of any such stupid thing as race but she is mixed herself so there will be conversations I'm not particularly looking forward to.

"kids and racism" is all that needs to be said really, of course the only way we will end this nonsense is via the kids, but instead of treating it as a silly fun thing like star sign or blood type I'll have to weigh her down with endless explanations and history and old, old baggage and it makes me ill but oh well? can only do so much to prepare the road for her but I can certainly prepare her for the road, and so on and so on

The thing is, if EVERYONE had these conversations as opposed to just minorities, the conversations would get easier

I don't think raising her to be "color blind" is realistic.

Yeah I would just want to add - nor desirable
