Let us support each other to talk about racism with our children. We can make space for what has been working for parents and educators who are already doing it, and to hear the challenges, fears, and concerns in talking about race with our children. When I went to college at 18, I was on my own to figure out what it meant to be a white Jewish man in a country where racism and white supremacy was everywhere. It has taken me all of the almost two decades since then to figure a few things out and I have so much more to learn. Let’s help our children navigate the challenges of racism and white supremacy so they don’t have to do it alone and so (if they are white children) the burden doesn’t fall on people of color to educate them. Racism is often talked about in black households because it is a matter of survival while in many white households it seems less common. We don’t have to know how to do it or get it perfect. We won’t ever arrive, but we keep showing up and doing our best.
