Bethany, just so I can understand where you are coming from - you honestly think there would be NO benefit (as in an easier life in terms of racial identity) to your children if they had been raised by AA parents, equal to you in all other areas? And you honestly feel that there is no significant loss or increased issues to your children, in terms of racial identity, to be raised by cc parents?
If that is so, I would LOVE to revisit this conversation with you when your children are my kids age and see if your point of view has changed at all. And I dont mean that facetiously, I really mean I would love to discuss this with someone who has raised kids that are the same age as my children and feels this way. I just cant imagine feelign that way after watching my kids experience life as they do.
Jen
