[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thread made me realize that I may need to talk to my child about the n word.  [b]We are Latino (only mention this to indicate that my kid is not black, which I think is relevant).  [/b]What age/grade is a good time for this discussion? Also, do you say the word when discussing it with your kid? [/quote]

You can be black and Latino.  Do you really not know this?  Have you ever been to the Dominican Republic?  Puerto Rico?  Brazil?  Any number of other countries with a large black population in Latin America?[/quote]

She’s talking about African Americans where it started under slavery.   I’m not sure if the immigrants from African countries who came here on their own use it.

Wow.  Where are the “immigrants from African countries who came here on their own” exactly?  The largely black Latino populations all over Latin America are all descendants of slaves. Don’t you know that?[/quote]

New poster. Immigrants from African countries who were not enslaved. Eg Barack Obama’s father. [/quote]
