@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.

Ohhh you're talking about Jonathan Riches the right wing maga trash bucket that's a lying liar. THAT'S WHERE YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION. Makes sense. Do better.
I’m still completely dumbfounded by people who deny white privilege.
I’d like to add that my husbands family is Jewish and I understand why he doesn’t like being referred to as “white” (totally separate topic) however, that in no way stops him from acknowledging that his life has been easier due to his lack of melanin. He uses his family’s Jewish history as a way to understand what it is to be targeted. Not as a way to deflect the atrocities that are taking place. Anyone who has ever not felt safe due to their skin, religion or sexual orientation should be using that feeling as the driving force to seek justice for black people around the world.
I didn’t see the original post but absolutely!
I have a friend who has a 4 year old daughter. You know what she told her mom? “Mom, I wish I had white skin, I don’t like black skin.” She’s FOUR. My friend has had several talks with her about all this since then. Kids absolutely do notice these things.
@missrinaa damn that makes me sad
Just reading that 😑 sad man
You know what is crazy, sometimes as black people, you can't even climb your way out of the hole you're born in. Educated, intelligent, successful black people are seen as... black people, and all the stereotypes and derogatory beliefs that are regarded as "being a black person." I think I'm pretty smart (tooting my own horn 😅), I worked hard for the right to say that, yet, I've been told "I'm surprised you're so intelligent!" Or "you're intelligent!" Like, education, common sense, comprehension, knowledge, are only for people who aren't me. Can't even climb out of the hole I'm believed to be born in.
@thatregalmujer My best friend is a black girl, light skinned, but black. Her older sister and younger brother are both dark. All have the same mom and dad. Very good upbringing. I met her in 7th grade when we were both in honors courses. Here we are, 23 years later and she still gets those stupid ass comments. Not only from white people about her intelligence, but from the black community about her not being black enough or acting white. 🤦🏽♀️ it’s a no win for some
@beezmommy it def is a no win. I've been told by my own race that I "talk white" well excuse me if I sound like I've read a book before. Why is that speaking property is tied to speaking "white"?
And this is why nothing will change. It's a beautiful hope, and lovely wish. But we're all hoping and wishing instead of making changes and becoming offended when reality is presented. Martin Luther had a great dream, and honestly, it will always be just a dream.
I want to add to my comment.
My sister is white. Her wife is black. My first nephew is white (almost 8 yrs old)
My second nephew is biracial , he's only one.
My sister and her wife had to sit down and explain to the oldest that his little brother will be targeted over the color of their skin. It's his job to look after his baby brother to protect him and call people out when he is targeted over the color of his skin.
I'm constantly telling my girls to watch out for their cousins. Speak up if they see anything. It starts at home.
Sit down with someone who has been through it. Listen to their stories it will open your eyes.
It's starts at home 👌
Holy shit 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ guess some people like to twist words!!!!!!
I’ll just leave this here. Kids see color weather they tell you or not. Kids see other people’s differences. That’s normal. It’s also normal to ask questions and to be interested. Let’s talk about it and embrace it. Let’s explain to them age appropriately what’s going on and what other races face. Get them aware, get them involved and use it as a teaching platform.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts
Oh they definitely see color my girls will play with everyone because they were raised not to teach someone different at birth. It doesn't mean that they don't see color.
The baby doll my daughter picked up at the house was black. She didn't compare it to her or her sister but to my nephew who is biracial. So she definitely knows that their skin is different.
My daughter is only 4 .... I'm pretty sure her kids are older so if my daughter sees color then her kids definitely do to 🤷🏼♀️
@raisinglittlegamers honestly, I feel like she had on several occasions compared the plight of blacks to that of Jews, it's so not the same. If you don't tell someone you're Jewish, no one knows you're Jewish. There's was a meme a couple years ago, it was supposed to be a joke, I didn't get it, I asked one of my friends what made the meme funny they said because it alluded to a certain last name (gosh, I thought it was distasteful so I don't want to go into the whole thing, so this might seem to make no sense...) that is prevalent among a certain people. It is a fact that people have lied about their religion to avoid being targeted and harassed... can't do that with the skin you're in. I can't believe Jewish people think they aren't white, they may not be Caucasian, but they are white 🤷🏿♀️
@thatregalmujer
It definitely not the same. She hasn't sat down with someone who is black and talked to them. Hear their first hand stories. It will change you.
That's exactly what I said. She can hide that she is Jewish. You can't hide it if your skin is a different color.
Ok. You’ve taught them about Jews. Great! What about blacks? I know most Jews think they don’t have white privilege. But. We do. Your kids need to know that. You’re kids are more then old enough
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, oh ok. Thanks I couldn’t tell what was happening. I think she realized how she sounded and knew she couldn’t show her face anymore!
So I’ve taught my kids about certain forms of hate of course , and also they might experience it in the future ( i hope not ) but in reality hate is very much alive , so I’ve explained Things that might effect them in their life , and i have no issues explaining to them hate of any other kind of person in the world but , right now at this moment , they themselves love everyone and accept people no matter the race or what not . But of course I’m explaining things slowly so they can get used to certain things, for example i explained to them our history and the amount of hate we received and still do and it effected my older son greatly , this is why i need to tread slowly and i just wanted that input from others .
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, oh yeah i always explain to them about differences ,and to always help those in trouble or people who are being bullied etc .
@itsamemario, on the other post you asked if they don’t see the difference now should you introduce it. I’m going to say yes. We may think our kids don’t see color or differences but they do. It’s normal to see someone that doesn’t look like you and notice why they don’t look like you. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. My son has a friend he grew up with she is white, blond hair, blue eyes and a girl. My son said to her one day you’re peach and I’m brown. You’re a girl and I’m a boy. So I said yes that is correct and what else. He said and we love everyone and treat everyone the nice and with respect. My son was like 5 at the time. He sees the differences and he knows how we treat everyone.
@dontblockmesis-imjustspeakingfacts, that’s sweet , my kids are aware of a lot of things but never even made a comment thinking this is just who they are , i always told them though that in life you’ll come across all kinds of people and we need to respect everyone . And they know that and maybe that’s why they never questioned it
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I find it pretty hilarious how people who have shown their true colors on social media snake away, delete the posts that outed them and come back on social media like nothing happened. Why do that, you outed yourself, so stay out. We still see you boo boo...
