[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a white parent (at Lee in fact!) and I’m terrible about making assumptions about black families! I’m inclined to think black families are poor and uneducated, that the moms are single parents and so on. And I’m embarrassed that it takes me a lot longer to learn to recognize black kids and parents than white ones! And a lot longer to feel comfortable talking to black families. This is all totally against my beliefs, but it lives deep in our brains. I do what I can to do better. [/quote] Please identify yourself so that me and my children can stay away from you and yours and I am sure you have passed your biases on to your children in your attempts to do what you can to do better, whatever that means. Is that even trying? Doing what you can doesn’t sound like pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to confront your ignorance. [/quote]
