He is now 11 and I am now discussing with him what society thinks about black men and what his education needs to mean to him. I wouldnt have dared told him those things at 6 or 7.
But I do hear you.

I dig what you are saying. At 6,7,8 I had to write reports on various Black people (Langston Hughes, Sojourner Truth, etc.) before I could go outside and play. So indirectly I was getting the lesson about how the world is, because I was learning about the adversity these folks went through.
