re: How to talk to your kids about White Privilege - ABC

Recently had this discussion with some of my kids. They realize that what they have and who we are as a family isn't because they're white. It's because their parents worked their asses off for 27 years providing for them and making sure they were raised with morals and confidence. To think they are who they are, or have the opportunities they have, because they are white is a slap in my face.

The privilege word is disrespectful, period. With that said, I agree that black kids do have some hurdles that white kids typically don't. They way police approach them if pulling them over, store owners watching them for theft, etc. Those things really do exist unfortunately. I don't think white people are privileged because they don't have to deal with that as much. That's what should be considered normal, not privileged. Blacks deserve to have that same level of normalcy.
