Dear white parents,
.
@thisgrowinglife The influence you have over your children not only affects your family but it affects the future of countless others. What you teach them now and, more importantly, what you show them by your actions can help to shape the next generation.
.
Everytime that you meet someone who is different than you are, you have the opportunity to teach love and acceptance. When those around you take part in conversations that villanize and demoralize a group of people who may look differently than you do, you have the opportunity to speak out against discrimination and prejudice. Everyday the news comes on with stories that are fabricated to instill fear and division based on untrue biases and stereotypes, you have the opportunity to teach truth and unity.
.
And each time that you take those opportunities, you are helping to make the lives of my (future) children and millions of others a little easier. Racism is not going away, the sinfulness of man's heart will surely prevent that. But each and every one of us has the opportunity to make a difference by teaching our children that all people, regardless of race, deserve to be treated with love, kindness, and compassion. AND Equality!
