Over the past few weeks, there is one question that I have heard over and over again.
That question is: “How do I raise anti-racist kids?”
Basically, they are asking me how they can make sure their kids don’t grow up racist — and it’s usually said with some panic, hand wringing and concern.
I hear this a lot as a parent advocate, a Black mommy blogger and podcaster, but I’ll be honest: the question infuriates me.
It presumes the problem of racism exists outside of the control of the person who is questioning how to raise anti-racist kids — in my experience, this comes from the parent, more often a mother.
