[quote=Anonymous]To OP: I think everyone has to talk or think about race at some point in there lives in this country. Black people don't have a lock on that, they just probably have to do it earlier since they are a minority, especially in most DCUM areas. I would talk to your son about his slang and demeanor and that you want him to know how he might be coming across--some people may appreciate it as cool and some may not. He's not age 5, he's age 13-14 so he's likely had discussions about race relations (MLK day was last week people!). Just ask him to be aware of the cultural sensitivities around speech, dress and the way people act, and to think about what he says before he speaks. There's no harm in that. I would say the same thing to a kid when they are thinking about what to wear to school, or how to talk to others, or public speaking. It's part of who you are and how people judge you.[/quote]
