Hi white mom of AA child. I appreciate your observations and know that you will advocate on behalf of your child (ren) which is really important they will always need your awareness and for you to be on their side. 
I also wanted to say that you may mean well but you really shouldn't paint AA parents (as backing down) as that is a  bit of a broad brush generalization. You realize  through your experiences with your child that if things get heated  the AA parents are usually going to be stigmatized ?

Yes, you are right - I should have made such a broad generalization. And unfortunately, I am aware of the stigma that AA parents face particularly women who stand up for themselves and their kids.  It sounds like you had quite an experience getting your son the services he needed.  [/quote]
