Anti-Racist Parent Blog

I cannot express to you how amazing and IMPORTANT this blog is.

Here is an excerpt:

"White parents of white children on some level do have a choice; as the perceived-if-not-actual representatives of the human standard of culture and living in the U.S., white people often are not confronted for being “of their race” on a daily basis and frequently do not have to deal with racial issues unless they find themselves in a situation or forum in which POC perspectives are a part of the dialogue, if not the dominant point-of-view. Even then, white folks can stay out of the conversation—and believe me, many POC folks don’t want you comment because they fear that you will try to usurp the discussion. "

Please click on the above link. This is important whether or not we have a child of color.
