Re: Advice on dealing with racist comments from my 7 year old | | What an insightful post by the original poster.
I remember as a kid, I had non-white kids in my preschool classes. When I was about the same age as your son, I remember I said something racist to my parents. We were looking at a nice house, and I said "It would be a shame if black people lived there."
lol...I don't even know why I said it...or where I learned it, but it may have been a few friends, or the fact that I picked up on the prejudices subconsiously. Who knows? For sure it wasn't my parents though.
My parents sat me down and talked to me about how bad it was, and that was that. I don't remember saying, or thinking, anything like that again. |
