Dealing with Racism

Just because we have a bi-racial president doesn't mean the media doesn't have a white bias. Also, I get so sick and tired of hearing "WELL PEOPLE ARE RACIST AGAINST WHITES TOO"

Okay yeah, that's definitely true. And it's not okay. But when's the last time whites were the victim of racist public policy and institutional discrimination in this country?

I am glad that my children - puertorrican here - have never gone thru this. I have always tried to keep them in a very diverse setting and racism has never been a real topic in my household. In any given situation I tell my kids that the one thing that the verbal bully hates is feeling ignored.

My son did encounter a different situation concerning bulling and i called the school 2 times - 3rd time I told the counselor i had instructed my son to knock the crap out of the kids if he came close to him again - their response "that is a threat" to which I cam back with "my child feels threatened every day he goes to school and this kids either pushes a chair towards him or does something to that effect" - finally they called the parents but the kid didn't listen - next time kid got close to my son in the locker room he grabbed him pushed him hard against the locker and told him if he was to ever even look at him, he would be sorry - bullying stopped
