:patrice: I can't hate, because they have a respectable home which is an upgrade from being in foster care. But I think they're making a big mistake talking to them about race at such a young age. I know they have black friends and all, but can a white person REALLY tell a black person on how to deal with racism in America? I see they admit they don't have the answers, but I've seen this backfire before.

Is it better to teach them that everyone is equal and color doesn't matter? I think it states they're 10, seems old enough considering kids getting killed at 12 out there

nikka how did you? :dahell:
You were more concerned about people who will potentially hate than actually commenting on the article so i did it to you.
I think that its a family taking in 2 orphan black children and imo theres only one way to feel about it. But knowin coli....

I have just under 200 posts in 8 months. Idrc about daps or reps man, not sure why you made that assumption.

I don't think so. But it's still better than teach them lies about how Black folks are just as racist as white folks and there's no system in place to set Black folks back.
