Turning the soil

This quote is particularly meaningful to me and I hope others will appreciate its honesty as we work to be better people and good parents: "The thing about being an anti-racist parent is that you have to be brave. You have to keep pulling out the roots that are embedded in your own heart. It’s like one of those garden weeds that you can’t smother or yank or poison. You have to keep turning the soil and taking it out piece by piece with great determination, honesty and courage. With God’s grace your children will learn how to do that from watching you stumble and get up again to try to repair the damage. There is no chance they will grow up unaffected by racism. Our job is to teach them the tools to dismantle it, in our own fumbling, open-hearted way." http://curlykidz.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/how_to_be_an_anti-racist_parent.pdf
