[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am only now beginning to grasp my white privilege as a 50 year old female, and STILL feeling like being female is a handicap. How in the world am I supposed to teach this to my 14 year old white son?[/quote] You have conversations. Lots of conversations. My 11 yr old and I heard a story on NPR yesterday. It was an interview with Booker and an economist about his plan for student loan debt. The economist shared that she had huge debts and had had a hard time finding a job. She did a test and sent out her resume with a different (non latina) name and a different address, and got many more calls for an interview. We talked about this story at dinner last night, just hearing it wasn't enough. [/quote] Black mom here--thanks for taking the time to have the conversations with your kid. Letting them know it's okay to broach the topic of race (along with a myriad of other uncomfortable issues) goes a long way.[/quote]
