Sue I see your point .. this sounded way too in depth for young children to grasp the children are 6 and 3? I have kept it simple with my son .. people look different and experience different things and we treat all people the same I felt that was age appropriate for a five year old. Going so deep into just yet is not going to grasp In his mind. Also I agree these children live in the whitest most privileged areas in America their experience will be so different.]]> In reply to Emily Jean.

Enjoy being racist. When you say you don't want biracial grandkids, that's disrespecting someone because of the color of their skin...so don't say you would never do that. You just did. Your Black friends deserve to know you are racist--you owe it to them to tell them you don't want biracial grandchildren. It's unfortunate that you cannot love Black people as much as you love to consume our music.]]> In reply to Guyfromthe76gasstation.

Your Black friends deserve to know you are racist–you owe it to them to tell them you don’t want biracial grandchildren.

It’s unfortunate that you cannot love Black people as much as you love to consume our music.
