White parents do their children a great disservice by not talking openly about race. This TED Talk was excellent, so watch it.
"When we talk openly with our children about race, we don't burden them, we free them."
"We handicap our children when we operate in racial silence."
"When we ignore differences, it diminishes us all."
"What we long for is not post-racial, but post-racist, where the destruction wrought by race and power is eliminated."
"There is the reality that race matters, and not always in positive ways."
