A good friend of mine shared this story with me. When her daughter was seven, she told her mother in no uncertain terms that she didn’t want any black kids at her own birthday party. My friend was shocked not just because her daughter was black — so was she — but because her daughter felt that black people were not the kind of people she wanted at her party.
