Dear Idina,
I think you're wonderful. It takes a lot of heart to admit you wish for your "chocolatey babies" to see themselves reflected in their president. Black women across America have said that repeatedly, but for a white woman to say it is just...acceptance at a level I haven't seen thus far. I don't even think that's the word I'm looking for, but it's as close as I can get. Those kids are really going to come into a home full of strength and love with parents who want them to embrace their total identity without having to "choose sides." Thank you, that made my day.
P.S. With a husband like yours, your future kids will be some beautiful little beings. Make them babies, girl.
