The Multi-Racial Family - Excerpt

In this excerpt from our educational session, "The Multi-Racial Family," adoption experts discuss the need for white parents of children of color to address issues of both race and culture with their families and emphasize why it's important for parents to be allies for their children.

Who is this black guy and why is he not chucking a spear in Africa?

[globehunter2]

Agreed! this is a racist world we live in. Everyday someone experiences racism

in one form or another.Raising a black child in a white family wont garrantee that

this child will grow up feeling rejected or racially devided.If this same child grows

up in a black family? theres still no garrantee it will have a healthy and fully functional

experience either. As long as theres love and caring either race can supply this for starters.

@CitizenOvTheWorld That's very well said! when you say you're 'what looks to be a white woman' I presume you're not one- what is your ethnicity?

[CitizenOvTheWorld]

I'm what looks to be a white woman and yet I did experience racism against me. I'm sick and tired of this business though that because I look like a white woman, I should not adopt what looks in any way "different" to me. We're all different, it's teaching and living acceptance of the differences that is the issue. it's accepting that something should be done about bullying in whichever form it comes or what ever it is called. RACISM = BULLYING, pure and simple. WAKE UP WORLD!!!!
