bump, how do you raise black kids in a white city
real parents chime in
You have to start your Children out with knowledge of OUR History, as well as "Theirs".
No Sugar coating, just the facts.
And you have to START with the African Continent, and the accomplishments/contributions that Black Folks have made globally.
Too many of our People start with Slavery, when talking about OUR History.
We have have been on this planet as "Anatomically Modern Humans" for at least 250,000+ Years.
We are the BIOLOGICAL Blueprint for Humanity.
There literally Ain't Shyt a White Person, or other Non-Black Person, can tell me to make me feel bad about being Black.
It is through our blood, sweat, tears, work, and innovations that the modern "Western World" could exist in the first place.
We have a great history both in Africa, and in America, and BOTH should be taught to our children, as the schools WON'T teach it.
I started on this path as a Teenager, primarily on my own. I had a few mentors to guide me to certain resources/info.
Even had to go back and forth with Teachers in both High school and College about history, and Black Folks place in it.
