A letter to my white partner after our daughter said she wishes she were white

I need you to step up. Race is a thing. That could not be more obvious today. You don’t need to be a social justice warrior, but you need to be my coparent. You have children of color. You can’t truly believe that our daughter is the one person in the world that won’t absorb white supremacy and will remain completely untouched by the glaring and systemic differences in this country (and planet). I want to you watch the videos I made (<a href="http://dearwhitetherapists.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dear White Therapists</a>) so that you’ll know what I mean when I say white supremacy. Because I know that term sounds so extreme, like something that only exists at KKK rallies. But you know, you KNOW this world is for white people, that white reigns supreme. The world is understanding this concept in a different way, and as parents to non-white children we need to keep up. I need you to start listening — to people of color and white people — with a WIDE-open mind. (Why don’t you want to give it a try? What do you have to lose? What are you afraid will happen if you just listen?) <a href="https://thehonesttherapist.medium.com/a-letter-to-my-white-partner-after-our-daughter-said-she-wishes-she-were-white-31f5413ddca9">Click Here</a>
