"Right now my son is a little boy, like yours maybe, or maybe like the
one you remember. He’s goofy and silly. He loves to do all those
stereotypical “boy” things, please don’t bring up any gender issues –
you know exactly what I’m talking about. Sometimes he likes to tussle,
straddling the line between play and real. Sometimes he can’t control
his temper. But right now he’s like a puppy to most people. He’s cute
and non-threatening.
What happens when he’s grown up and not so cute and non-threatening?
When he’s walking through the world alone? No more the floppy-eared,
playful youngster — he’s now the feral stray dog, worthy of extermination."
A plea to actively help fight racism, not just tut-tut at it.
