In reply to the discussion: White mother of black children (and white children) tells it like it is. [View all]heaven05
(18,124 posts)73. SO it was a year ago
and an OP like this is a "pet peeve". So what!!!!!!!!!! The point of the whole story is to show white racism, privilege and entitlement in it's full glory with an interracial family as the focus. The white kids not followed in stores, the black kids are and it's goddamn worse now if it was an old article, they follow everyone black even 69 year old AA's. I just look at the 'dicks' and smile. Also, is that type of family a "pet peeve" of yours, I question? To distract and try to take away from the content of the OP with a "pet peeve" of yours speaks volumes about how you see racism and it's damage to human beings, black and white. Truly obvious in intent.

No, it doesn't. You added the comma and made it appear those words are on the same line.

I would defer to your husband on this. He's lived the experience your child will have.
