Who does anyone turn to...Al Sharpton? It doesn't matter how many family members you have or how well connected you are. Anyone...celebrity or not, rich or poor, can be subjected to racism. Any steps that would ever be taken to assist you or your children would most likely come after the fact not before.
I can appreciate that you've thought about the what but I'm not sure you've fully contemplated the who. Who will they be? Though interracial, they will be viewed as black and for better or worse they will be treated as such.

I think what she is saying is how can she prepare her future children for an experience that she has no real first hand knowledge. How can she gauge is her feelings are on the mark or if she is over reacting if her parents have no experience and her husbands parents arent alive. I think what she is asking about is a support system that will be able to address her issues.
I think she poses very good questions that i have often wondered about myself especially with Brangelina and Tom Cruise. How can you teach your children about about a system that is against you when you dont really understand yourself.
