[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow..lol!  I love DCUM but these responses confirm that my AA son should not date or marry a white woman.

The level of self righteousness from some members of the white majority is dangerous for him.   But don't worry, when your daughter comes after my son, and she will,[b] I hope to have educated him on this matter [/b]and it will be a non-issue because he won't be interested.

You hope to have taught your son that all members of a certain race share certain characteristics and faults? Seems to me there's a word for that... [/quote]

Not the pp (but I am a black Mom). I hope to educate my son and teach him the value of black women. I hope I am an example to him about all that is beautiful, strong and wonderful about black women. I hope that he understands that a successful black man is a great thing to be and it's even better when you find a black woman who is your equal.

See, that's what I don't get. I hope to teach my son to value [i]women[/i]. To find beauty and strength and wonder in [i]women[/i]. That a successful, honest, hardworking, loving man is a great thing to be, and it's even better when you have a partner with whom to share it. I truly cannot countenance teaching children that one race is better/ preferable/ more desirable, more "equal" than another. [/quote]
 
Are you black? In my experience, only white people can afford to be "colorblind" and ignore race in the raising of their children.

I am not teaching my son that black people are better than anyone...where did you get that from my post? My husband is teaching him pride in himself as a black man and I hope to be a living example in the beauty of black women. [/quote]
