if you're a parent of White children and you consider yourself to be antiracist in any way, you've got to talk to your kids about it.

no grownup ever sat me down and talked to me about race and racism. but I was surrounded by casual racism mostly in the form of "jokes" from both grownups and other kids.

wish I could have skipped some steps of the unlearning I have to do today, by being inoculated before being exposed to that shit.
