For instance, she has a little white girl at school that she is good friends with and I said that not so long ago her and the little girl wouldn't have been able to be friends or go to school and play together and I went on from there.

Have you and your daughter seen the Black History Month episode of The Proud Family? Not sure if you watch it, but that was one of the sub storylines -- in 1955, Penny and Zoe would not have been able to be friends because Penny is Black and Zoe is White.

Also wanted to point out that Autum is being raised by her father.
