I was really disappointed that when Rose was hearing the experiences of her classmates in regards to abuse they suffered, she looked at them and attributed there experiences to being because they were black. I was hoping someone pointed out that children of every color experience abuse from their parents in this country. And I always say this when the topic of abuse comes up, but Black children are more likely to enter care because of poverty related issues or neglect as opposed to their white counterparts that are more liley to enter care because of physical abuse. But I am pleased she seems to be getting the most out of the experience than any of the others.
i'm with you on that. when i was watching, i was thinking "PLEASE don't go away thinking that these isolated events are germane to all Blacks."
