But some of these black parents are raising their black kids with no black children to interact with. It especially pisses me off when they have black daughters that go to schools with no black girls. How you gonna send your black daughter to a school with no black girls especially in a country that issues with black females beauty. You are setting that child up for self hate issues.
I have told my wife many times over the years I would take a job or assignment where I had to relocate my family to areas where there are none or very little black people. That shyt is just not healthy for my children's self esteem and how they view themselves.
I have seen too many confused black children growing up and I do not want my children messed up like that. Heck my god sister is one of the most confused people I have ever seen in my life.
I've already spoke on that here, made a thread about it, and some posters (who will remain nameless at the moment) got mad when I said that being black in a predominantly white city/town/society can be mentally and physically harmful.
I went through the bolded, product of a two parent black family (I'm a first gen Nigerian/West Indian) raised in an affluent white neighborhood, went to predominantly white schools from kindergarten to college, and the middle child out of three children.
My older sister, who will be 35 next year, hasn't had a job in almost ten years, has been living at home for almost ten years, and does nothing but cook, eat, and watch tv. No social life, no friends, will probably never get married.
My younger sister, has already gone through the process of transitioning from female to male after she came out as transgender 3 years ago.
And then...there's me. Living in New York City, with a good job on wall street, and very successful in my own right and very pro black. And a strong and very proud black man that reps his people and his heritage.
I'm just thankful I was able to gain that important knowledge of self in my college years and the 12 1/2 years I've been living on my own to not be as messed up as my other siblings. But yes...if I ever have kids, I'll never make the same mistake my folks did raising us.
