June 8, 2020 -- For generations, “the talk” has been a staple of African American life. Parents try to guide their children through the racism they may encounter as they go about their daily lives, encounters with police that can turn deadly in the blink of an eye.
The first talk was a few years ago after Freddy Grey died in police custody in Baltimore. More recently, the family participated in a run for Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year old, unarmed African American man who was chased, shot, and killed as he jogged through a south Georgia neighborhood. A white father and son have been charged with his murder.
“You don’t want to sugar coat it, you don’t want to hide the truth, but you also don’t want to scare them,” she said. “You also want to instill a sense of pride and love and to let them know that ‘I love you, I believe you are strong.’ Through talking with or reading to your child or during family time, you want to communicate that black folks have contributed so much to our country and to our world.
And while it is important to let them participate in protests, both in person and online, monitor and discuss the types of sites they’re visiting.
