[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting thought OP. We are Black parents raising two amazing children. One excels in the top 1% of a Magnet MCPS  HS and will have a very bright future God willing, and the other is just starting kinder in what we think of as a melting pot ES that is top notch. I was not raised to have a mentality that hinders growth, success or excellence, so my entire family has high standards. I do understand there is racism but it is kind of like voodoo. Most of the time, if you do not believe in it then it will not affect you. Also, how you react to the world's ills is being recorded by your children. So, you must think about what you want them to take from how you behave, what you say, and your mindset. They are watching. My mindset is that our physical characteristics are African American but excellence and being successful is not a race so therefore it should have no bearing. Also, I do not participate in politics, watch News or trash TV, or subscribe to people with issues. Besides DCUM, Lol, my secret indulgence.

I am sorry you feel this way but you must change your thinking for the sake of your kids and be happy to have children who are allowed by law to be able to reach whatever destination you set before them and encourage them to reach. [/quote]
