[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is the issue with being of color in this country. White people have the ability to tune out race and race issues and get tired of racism and its historical implications because they are the default. I can't stop being black. I can't stop worrying about my children's hurt, hurt they will receive solely because of their skin color. I can't stop microaggression and I wish I had the privilege to be like, uh no big deal. I really do. It would be awesome to be white sometimes. You have to work on building your child's self worth in a world where they will be told they are less than. Yes, everyone is told they suck in their own special way, but there isn't hundreds of years of history, violence, and aggression behind being made fun of because of a non-racial attribute. I'm sorry you are going through this. It is upsetting and the people who don't get it have the privilege of not having to care.[/quote]
