Black Males Are Lagging Academically - Blog Entry12 Feb 2007 07:33 PM I worry about pointing out racism to young black children as it gives them an "excuse" to not be their best. Don't give them too much information too early. What to do with the anger? Let the reality of the injustice set in... watch a few movies... "Do the right thing", "I know why the caged bird sings" "Look who's coming to dinner" ...then get over it. You can't help your kids if you feel defeated. Black Males Are Lagging Academically - Blog Entry12 Feb 2007 05:42 PM Oh Ed. I went to a conference a few years ago. The speaker was a white man named Joel Freeman. He has a heart for making blacks feel valued and as intelligent as they are. (Look him up) He made a comment about the heartbreaking moment when a child realizes they are black. Some make the realization at 3, some at 10, my husband was fortunate enough not to have it until he was 23. Your post about seeing racism broke my heart as I feel you have had that moment too. As far as education is concerned... it is a catch 22. Nothing is expected, so nothing is delivered, so nothing is expected. This is one of the many reasons that I homeschool. Nothing was expected from my child (in GA) when schools in other states said he was gifted. Who Invented The Burger?
