What I did not like as a teenager was Moms saying you're trying to be white when volunteering with a diverse group right in our very community (unpaid). Where did such talk come from? I have not raised kids, but such talk creates an issue with a kid who is not able to speak up versus such a statement. Flustered I bet that child would be or simply say "What" when they in their heart are doing what is right...period. This is my opinion even thinking when having dinner one a waitress some how just said what she think I will hate. That was not her assumption to make simply from my eye contact with her, as I could eat a variation of pasta any day even vegetarian pasta sauce. I stand by the youth who know what I am talking now as adult. Speak up but respectfully. -A.T. Yoda Brooks
