[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is bad parenting to talk to young kids about this at all.  [/quote]

Especially with anxiety related to the pandemic, we are trying to shield our kids from what is going on and I won’t apologize for it.  They will have plenty of time in life to learn about these issues.[/quote]

Congratulations, you're white.[/quote]

I am a member of a minority that does quite well in the victimhood Olympics.  I am not exposing them to our traumas, current or historical, at this age either.[/quote]

Ditto: AA Mom here to a toddler and a teen. I talked to the teen only after she asked and not a word to my toddler although she asks questions about skin color as we are a mixed family ( Stepmim is white, my deceased mom is Hispanic).
- I do not want them worrying about if my husband will be attacked or killed. They will have anxiety. 
-I do not want them to think all the hatred and anger ( look at how this board views AA children and people) is towards them for something they cannot control. 
-I want them to stay innocent children as long as they can like the white kids get to enjoy.[/quote]
