On a related note, in response to what some of y'all have said about the children of interracial parents (black/white specifically), I want children. But, one thing I'm concerned about is how to deal with issues that I haven't personally had to navigate. I can't turn to my parents because they have no idea.
My mother says I borrow trouble - worrying about things before they happen - but I think about how to protect my future children. Things like not wanting them - especially boys - being out at night...not for fear of their safety in general, but for fear that the police will get them. I don't want to sit at home wondering if my child has been arrested.
In reality, who do I turn to when things like that happen? Not my parents. My husbands parents have passed. This is real, y'all. You know?
