bethanyb- I hope my previous post did not come across as saying that ALL children did *not* need to learn about their heritage (if it did - apologies and I will blame it on being tired
). I was trying to point out that, in my experience, people tend to focus more on the cultural "needs" of AA children than the children of any other races. Racism? Maybe. But I think some of it may just be lack of knowledge and fear of messing up a child's life.
