What we know about positive racial identity among people of color is that it's different than the way white kids develop positive racial identity. By the way, white people have a racial identity too. We just don't pay attention to it in this country because we are white-centric or euro-centric in this country. What that mean is, when you are part of a targeted group, you need some extra things to feel good about yourself. It begins with noticing. Many people of color, if you interview them, "Do you remember when you first noticed race?" Often, when they first noticed race is, unfortunately, a painful and negative experience of realizing that someone was targeting them. It is a racism experience. Children internalize these things and realize that they are not as good as their white counterpart. The way that is counteracted is by knowing, recognizing and affirming the truth, that it's a positive to be a person of color. They are not going to learn that in school. We don't learn that in school. They learn that from other adults that are going to pass it along. In a same race family, they are probably getting that from elders in their family, maybe in their faith community or family gatherings. If they are not in a same race family, we have to be proactive to make sure that it's happening for them. They are interacting with adults that can teach them the positives of their racial identity. By the way, they are going to teach us, too. Our lives are enriched, as much as our children's.
