talk about our own images in America?
because white is the default.
A white child can easily turn on a show or
a movie and see all white people, and it
reaffirms their existence. It has the
opposite affect on a Black child.

We can step in and help the situation, but
they still live in the real world.

Albionist is up there comparing a Black child
wearing a blond with in a white world to a
child wearing an alien outfit. Ppl really
don't get it.

I'm happy that people are being proactive, but
sometimes even that proactiveness is just a
matter of saying "look, you're there with white
people" instead of being able to show them they're
the default.
