I don’t feel comfortable physically being at #blm protests (being in a chair and with a child) and I don’t know exactly what to say (that actually matters) online. . . What I can do is raise this little boy the right way. One day I hope to teach him about the struggle and oppression that black Americans faced (past tense, in hopes) and how, when he was just a baby, we all united to bring lasting change. @roytuscany and I will include all the beautiful colors of people and abilities and disabilities in his life from the friends we have to the books that he reads, the movies he watches and the toys he plays with. . . . My hope is that when he is old enough to make friends that him and his buddies are not just accepting of all humans but that they will be allies and anti-racist young men and women who know that freedom, equality, safety and opportunity are for everyone. Children aren’t born racist, they learn it. . . “Parents and educators play a critical role in helping children of all ages navigate current events and talk openly about the historical roots of the various 'isms in our country. Learning how to talk about things like police brutality and white privilege takes a lot of practice, patience, and skill, regardless of who we are -- but it's key to dismantling racism. . We need to listen to each other, learn from each other, and with time, these conversations will get easier while also becoming more impactful for society.” - I appreciated this article on @cnn, link in bio*」6月14日 3時43分
