[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those non-black parents complaining about this post, how many black friends does your child have?  How many black children have been to your house for a playdate?  What if all of the classmates and their parents are like you and your child?  That can be isolating for a child of color.  Look at you and your own child's behavior and how/whether they interact with other black children in their school or class.   [/quote]

My white son is mystified by the term "black".

Me: " honey, who is David ?"

My son: " you know him, and you know his parents"

Me: " I do ? "

My son: "Yes, you wre talking to them"

Me: "Oh, yeah, but what does he  look like , I think there are two Davids, right " "what does David look like?"

My son: "what do you mean what does David look like ....he has brown hair, and his taller than Scott"

Me: "Is he black ?"

My son: " what? No, I wouldn't say he is black, he is more brown , brown like Matthew " " why do you ask ?"

Me:"because his parents will be at the dinner party tonight and I want to be able to remember what kid goes with what parent so that I can ask about their son in conversation"

My son: " well, I still don't understand why you don't know David, you talked to his parents before..I saw you"
