The idea that creating more biracial children will help improve race relations is very....I don’t know the word for it but with the amount of biracial Black people, especially the ones with a white parent who have shared that they are not accepted by their non-Black side....
It’s kind of violent because you’re putting a bandaid over the real issue and that is white supremacy. You can procreate with whoever you want but purposely doing so with the intention to “improve race relations” is not it. It’s weird.
And it’s also violent because you could selfishly be subjecting your child to a lot of racial trauma from their own blood. Procreate because you love that person and be intentional. Not because you want to fix race relations. It means nothing if the child has no sense of race.
