old white lady here, but purposely raised my kids in the more diverse ward in the city. i do my best. my kids barely notice skin color. i am very proud of them.
but i know i dont really know.

i do know this, tho, i DO NOT have a problem w blm tactics. if it was our children getting gunned down, we'd have turned the whole place upside down by now.
trouble is, they are our children.
