[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a complete idiot though I feel like one now. I know better than to let my kid have braids to match her friend. Could I do french braids instead and put beads in her hair that way? I'm so lost on this. I am an immigrant, sorry for not understanding. I am trying.[/quote]

Every troll claims to be an immigrant.[/quote]

I am not OP, but I am also an immigrant trying to understand. Would it be ok to say to a black kid not to do something because it is a “white thing”. I understand the debate for older kids or adults. But don’t we want to foster real empathy and friendship between kids of different backgrounds?[/quote]

Black parents have to tell their kids that all the time. Main one, "don't talk back to the police." And yeah, the conversations have to start early for their safety. The 6-year-old baby made to lie down next to her family on the hot ground in the August Colorado sun with guns drawn on them doesn't get to do "white things," so I don't know why everyone is freaking out at the suggestion that she wear a different type of braid other than beaded cornrows.

This is not the same as the police talk so stop acting like it for God's sake. These are two little girls who want braids. Get outta here with this crap.
