The Merge
The ethical conversation that every white family must have with their children.
First off, don't you think this is...
... and so it happens. Your dhild says the forbidden word. It is not the 4 letter one, no, it's the six letter word.
...and you explain how and why it is inappropriate.
Your child's response...
Oh, ok, but Dad. Why is it in the dictionary?
Are they not proud of who they are? The red skinned indians are. Look, they even have a whole team named after them.
How many skin colors are there?
Didn't God create all of us?
You know dad, I get called names and I don't care, why do they care so much?
Isn't it about time we put petty differences aside and enjoy life while we are here. There are still good people in this world. Go out there and find them. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some cute, some ugly, some happy, some sad, but mostly you'll find a lot of lonely people, old and young alike. The moral to this story... we need each other more than we know.
