[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There was a recent WaPo article by Lawrence Otis Graham, I believe his son is not mixed but fairer skinned, and he was called the N word for the first time at 15 and pretty much came undone. When parents tell you to prepare your child it's not because they wish for it to happen, but because it's pretty rough for that to happen period, and doubly so when the child is completely unprepared.[/quote] This happen to my nephew last year when he was walking home from school. A group of teenagers yelled it out of a pickup truck riding past. He was confused and devastated. My sister hadn't prepared him. She overloaded him with all that she could during the recent media coverage of the police shootings of black boys and men. He became very depressed. It's very difficult.[/quote]
