Having a child has made me more aware of racism (stuff that has happened to me/things that I think could happen to my son) and has made me more willing to call out shit rather than letting it slide. But it doesn’t make me regret having him.
He’s amazing, I can’t imagine him not being in my life and hopefully I’m helping to raise him to become a good human being.
Making him aware of his “blackness”is my way of giving him some of the tools to navigate his way in this imperfect world, until it becomes a little less imperfect, which might take a while, if you think about how long it’s taken us to get here..
