[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why are so many of you devastated that a minority mom does not want their children to be host by you?  Minorities have to constantly be in white spaces.  Sometimes we just want a break from you.  We do not want to constantly entertain you or your children.  We do that at work and at school all day long.  I can guarantee you that every brown and black person will have to agree that is it sometimes refreshing to not have to always be in white spaces all the time.  People just want to be around like minded families and that is okay.  It is okay for individuals to spend their free time around those who understand them and their culture.

I swear, white fragility is beyond exhausting.  Folks claim that they want to maintain cultural ties with people within their community, but fragile white women are hurt by this.  The audacity of white privileged which thinks that the OP's friend is obliged to submit to her every whim.

Respect people's cultures and their comfort level.  The passive aggressiveness and your blinded white privileged makes many minority moms uncomfortable.   Some of the posts in this thread just solidifies to me the arrogance and sense of entitlement that some people have.  No, it is not your right to expect or dictate how another mom chooses to raise their child. Different moms have different comfort levels and that is perfectly fine.

[b]Some of you lack cultural sensitivity and awareness.[/b]  This is what many minority moms fear about having you host our children.  You can not hide your veiled racism and cultural bigotry from us.  Think about your interactions with minority moms on a daily basis.  Some of the same folks here whining are probably so blinded by their mistreatment of minority moms.      [/quote]

So do you.[/quote]
