I chose these words because as a white woman, I do not face prejudice because of my race, but my child, a biracial baby with a white mom and a black dad, likely will. People have become more accepting in recent years, however, many people discriminate against other races and some don’t believe races should mix. My baby isn’t even born yet but I am already so fearful of what they may hear or what people may say. I know my baby’s father and I will love them unconditionally, but society may not. I hope my child will have the strength to protect themselves if they need to and that they will not feel like their race makes them less worthy.
