[quote=Anonymous]The problem is, OP, a lot of white people do not give a crap about racism. (White woman here). In fact, they go out of their way to avoid the topic entirely leading their children to become uninformed. The implicit hope, obviously, is that we can all forget how absolutely awful white people have been toward black people and just pretend that the systemic issues involving black people in this country is entirely of their own doing. That said, I would view myself as morally failing my children if they did not understand the history of the N-word, its intense awfulness, and how awful black people were treated in this country for hundreds of years. It's the reason why I took my children to the African American history museum when it opened. But I don't think it's okay to pretend this isn't a big deal or kids being kids. And I agree with the others who say, yes, there is freedom of speech, but there are consequences to the words we use. [/quote]
