Earlier, I asked Ruth if she had fun at the Y and what she did there. I play outside a whole bunch! Yeah? What else did you do? I hit little black boy. You did?! Why? Because I didnt want him to get me in the back yard (ie: outside play area of Y) I shared this with Rusty and we both had the same first reaction. Not good for her for fighting back. Not Oh no, she hit someone. But, Where did she learn to call him black!?!?! We deliberately do not describe people by their race unless it is absolutely necessary... You know, like in an amber alert. We want our children to see the person first, not their race first. We cant tell them that white people and black people are the same, because weve already separated the two in that statement. Looks like weve got some un-teaching to do!
