ukmalso maybe don't encourage a culture of "us vs the police" in ur community and raise your kids to feel like police are the enemy if you don't want them to assault a police officer and get shot when they grow up
or blame the cops and pretend black skin absolves you of any responsibility to act like a decent human being i dont know whatever works
Ok just gonna throw this out there
But its actually a very real thing for black parents to be concerned for their children's safety in environments of big cities and in relation to the police
I can't speak for all black parents but in my experience as a child into teenage years growing up in NYC I've only been warned to be as respectful as possible and not to assume anything - when a cop performs their job they're putting their life at risk as well, and it serves both of us well to put things into perspective. And from my own personal experience, these have made quite the difference in my own dealings with the police and racism in general. I can't speak for anyone else, but to me it made the difference enough to hold any thoughts I've had when I've been referred to by police as a nigger, coon, porch monkey, and sambo. To suggest that parents ignore this and pretend that it may never happen to their children seems silly to me, and if I had kids I wouldn't refrain from telling them my own personal encounters and the appropriate way of dealing with it
I understand what you are saying but it seems as if you are implying that nothing happens from the other end of the spectrum, which I can tell you solely from my own experience is not the case
