Promise

If I ever marry a white man and we have passing white children, I will do everything in my power to ensure that our children are aware of their white privilege; that they will advocate for other minorities; that they will empathize and relate with minorities; that they will speak out when they see injustice; that they are kind, compassionate, and see that human suffering is not something we should ignore. Because if I ever marry a white man and we have passing white children, I don't want them to ignore the half of them that's brown; the half of them that's buried within the whiteness; the part of them that's painted over.

If I ever marry a white man. If I ever have passing white children.

I promise.
