Child of color = colored child. No?
The Black author is an imbecile.
He’s “wary” of policemen and white people?
He and his son are ten times more likely to be murdered by their own race.
“Being black or being “other” in this society...”
I’m guessing “other” includes Hispanic and Asian. Like the two cops executed in NYC?
Perhaps Michael would be happier in some nation where higher epidermal melanin content is the norm.
I’d kick in twenty bucks for a one way ticket.
My biracial son is a quarter black and a quarter blackfoot. Sonehow my half french and half english/irish made him really light. He does have kinky blonde hair. My grandkids have one with curly hair, one with straight hair, one with brown eyes, one with light hazel eyes.
So the whole thing gets extremely ridiculous. The Ferguson Hands Up nilists would probably attack any of us in the street, even though two family members fought for the north in the Civil War and part of the family came on a slave ship and part of the family is indigenous sioux indians.
So since none of my descendants looks black they could be victimized by blacks. Or maybe not, since they are tall, good with bows and arrows and white fire power. Did I mention javelin championships?
What idiot runs through the streets in jeans—and who lets their 15yo of any sex or race run through the streets at night?
Puh-lease.
Parenting a child of color in post-Ferguson America?
Why start now?
She’s blaming everyone for electing Biden when virtually no blacks voted against him?
I like how this person talks about parenting when there’s almost none of that going on these days.
Ok. I’ll just stay clear of black people.
This was written by a male? Bwahahahahahaha.
The world isn’t ready for his biracial children? The people of this country put a biracial man in the White House twice, because they believed him when he said this was a post racist country.
I knew Obama was evil from the beginning, but I never thought he would start a race war.
This man’s enemy is not white America, and it isn’t the police.
What a crock of sniveling racist, cry me a river of victimhood, throw me a pitty party crap.
“I don’t have the privilege to make the same mistakes that whites can make, for simple mistakes can impinge upon my employment, my freedom, my life. This isn’t hyperbole; this is fact.”
DING DING DING! The money quote. Celebrate Diversity!
What a gut-wrenching story:
My bi-racial son went for a run in a white neighborhood ...and nothing happened.
But, in my twisted imagination something happened, therefore it happened.
So,something needs to be done.
I think I got it right
A much better approach to black or bi-racial kids is for their parents to insure they “get connected”. For example, if they live in a medium to small sized city, make sure they are known to the police as a “good kid”.
Many police departments offer “ride alongs”, especially if the kid expresses an interest in maybe becoming a police officer. So they get to ride around on the passenger side of a patrol car, and hang out with a cop for 6 to 8 hours.
Cops are also fonts of useful information not widely known to the public. Like where the bad neighborhoods and streets are, so you can avoid them. And if there are particular crimes in the area the police are looking out for.
Surprisingly, one of the most useful things you can get from them is “police etiquette”, how to interact with police to least risk and most helpfulness. And how *not* to behave around police.
A surprising anecdote on the subject comes from the former gangster-rapper, now actor, called Ice-T. Once known for his violently anti-police lyrics, he was hired to work for a police drama as a cop: Law & Order SVU. After hanging out with real police who were there as consultants, he is now appreciative and understanding of cops.
That's so silly. It's an ad campaign, people are being sold this narrative. They should stop and ponder WHY. The answer is where the danger is...for ALL of the United States.
