Wow! This is a lot to deal with! It breaks my heart that this is even an issue, ANYWHERE! I don't see anything wrong with keeping your home a haven for the kids. I'm not sure trying to explain it at a younger age would help anyway since it's brought up in kindergarten. <BR/>We have a different makeup in our family that could be problematic down the road. Two of our kids have married Hispanics. One more obvious than the other. Neither pair have children yet so I don't have a clue how it will effect them. <BR/>I'm going to love coming here all the time! You're going to really make me think about things, aren't you!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833940756951696000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091326539004599255.post-18938886026447279842008-01-27T01:20:00.000-06:002008-01-27T01:20:00.000-06:00Ang,I could've written what you wrote, only maybe ...Ang,<BR/>I could've written what you wrote, only maybe not as wonderfully.<BR/>We have done the same with our children, raised them somewhat sheltered to the ills of society and you're right, it's not until things are brought up in school that my children have known anything different than mom,dad and children.<BR/>I don't know that I would ever want to start teaching my children at a younger age. I like that they grow up knowing we are all equal. then when they do get older and issues come up, we can still all talk openly as a family and it puts the real lessons back into our hands as the parents.<BR/>You are doing a fabulous thing for your children by having them grow up seeing in grays, not black and white.BoufMom9https://www.blogger.com/profile/16312119503894888955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091326539004599255.post-8333088023410098912008-01-26T23:06:00.000-06:002008-01-26T23:06:00.000-06:00With nieces and nephews from donnies side of the f...With nieces and nephews from donnies side of the family being of mixed races, I get what you are saying. When I was going to school, it was like a huge crime for there to be mixed kids. And they got picked on. Me personally...I have always thought some of the prettiest kids are mixed. I was never raced to be racist, but it was also looked down upon to date outside the same race, but I trully believe that the color of someone skins should not automatically say everything about a person. There are rotten whites, chineses, mexicans, and blacks. Every race has its rotten apples. One day the schools and society will be able to better celebrate MLK day and really involve ALL races in the celebration.bestfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957406063767592486noreply@blogger.com
