My wife and children are members of the Cherokee Nation, but we have the good fortune to live in an area where they are unlikely to face discrimination. I worry about what may happen if my children ultimately go someplace where racial discrimination is still prevalent and how I should prepare them for that possibility. As a white male raised in Texas, I’ve never before had to think about racial discrimination as a personal concern as opposed to a social and political problem. Now, the thought of my wife, son, or daughter possibly having an encounter with the police has a chilling dimension to it that’s hard to process.
