[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your kid? It is pretty urban where we live so these topics come up naturally, and my kids can connect why we say the things we do. They are in elementary school. I don't think I could teach them these things in the abstract at this age.[/quote] Almost 8. Right, my area is fully suburban and white with a few Jewish people, Asians, hispanics, and no black people. I have him continually signed up to a sport he doesn't love (tennis) because the coach happens to be black and I want him to have a positive role model / leader who is black and because he has no other male teacher and I think that is important too. Am I being ridiculous? [/quote] Why are you talking about your son’s exposure to Black people, and Black men in particular, as part of talking about “street smarts?”[/quote]
