Using the term [“I don’t see color”] is an excuse to avoid the hard work of unlearning and relearning history and to avoid acknowledging the discrimination communities face, so the goal will never be to become “color-blind.” The goal will always be to embrace brown and black skin tones, to develop friendships regardless of race, and to work toward justice-this is what antiracism looks like.
-Britt Hawthorne Raising Antiracist Children, p. 30
I’ve been busy this summer. Sorry for neglecting you all. This book, Raising Antiracist Children, along with books about autism and learning, social justice parenting, and spirituality have been lighting up my brain. I’m in an intake period… so the output (blogging) is naturally slower. I’ll see you next… whenever I’m back!
