we generally dont care. but the issue comes when you aren’t teaching them and setting them up to be in danger bc they don’t know Black ppl irl. and it is that serious. as a fully Black girl from the suburbs of Texas. It’s that serious. If there’s a doubt in your mind about what your family will think about having a mixed grandbaby/cousin/nephew/niece, and you don’t feel that way? Conversations need to be had. And EVERYONE needs to learn how to do Black hair. Period.
See this is why I always tell people if you’re going to date interracially you are REQUIRED to learn about the race of your partner, just in general but especially if you end up having kids, because that whole “trend” of non black mothers coming online and showing that they’re fucking up their mixed with black children’s hair is not only disgusting but at a certain point needs to be considered neglect. Like why have a mixed kid if you’re not going to even try to understand their experience?
Hey so let me just say this I am white and pregnant with my baby and the dad IS black but what they sayin in this post is 100% TRUE!! If you do not know how to properly care for your baby do not have one! It’s simple and no white woman should be pressed by this unless ur actually racist tf 😭🤍
yup! i never respected the “we dont see color” thing because the rest of the world does. if you’re dating interracially, and having mixed kids, the best thing you can do is educate yourself and them on multiculturalism. if you aren’t willing to do that and protect your child and partner from racist folk… stay in your lane
i just saw 2 tiktoks. the first a mom fighting to say her daughters hair wasnt 4C, talking about it like it was a bad thing. the second a famous content interracial couple. the (white) dad called the mom and their kids the hard R. back to back. nothing wrong w interracial dating. but there has to be cultural understanding and respect from everyone in the community bc that made my stomach turn.
Exactly, plus I’ve always hated the “we don’t see color” thing for the same reason and bc it’s not the only way to teach kids that everyone’s supposed to be equal. You can teach a kid to see past race without actively putting them at a disadvantage because everyone else sees their race and will treat them as such
