Question Took a while to find this thread

Quote:
This is a thread for not making fun of people or putting others down. We're all ignorance. This is a thread where if you have questions about other cultures, etc, ask them. Rules for thread: If you're asking a question, try to do so in a way that won't offend people. Rule 2: If some one asks a questions, don't make fun of them. Give them the benefit of the doubt, because if we start calling everyone out this will turn into a flame war and its supposed to be about free, open discusion. This can only happen if we're all respectful. ...
If a child of black parents is born, then naturally his parents teach him about the world etc while he is young; through what they say, demonstrate etc. I understand that while a child is younger black parents might well teach him about how there was slavery etc and all the atrocities that accompanied it; for a long time? What I am wondering about is, when telling junior of these happenings how do they ensure - perhaps more with a younger child? - that s/he will not grow up resenting/prejudiced in their life toward white people because of those historic events. That he/she will not grow to think more negatively(/attribute behavior to) of white people based on that shameful past. Perhaps even because when growing up they do not/can not make such an easy distinction between things. Thanks.
