“Mommy, what are people talking about when they say we have a Race Problem?”
“Honey, you are only six years old. I wouldn’t worry about it.”
“But Mommy,I hear people say we have a Race problem. What does that mean?”
“Son, some folks think that Black People, Asian People, Indian People, White People, Brown People, are all different Races.”
“That’s silly. Don’t they all have Mommies?”
“Yes, darling, they do.”
“Well, if everyone has a Mommy, then we are all the same.”
