I have been reading a lot about racial issues and have realized how wrong I was in so much of my thinking. As a member of the more prominate race in America, I was completely minimizing the true effects of racism. There are many, many things that I will never experience, nor can I ever experience, that my children will have to face. This presents another unique challenge in parenting!
I found this link to a post from another blog. I enjoyed reading it, thought you might as well.
