The article reflects on the paradox of raising Black children in contemporary society, juxtaposed against historical hardships faced by communities of color. The author, a pregnant mother and mental health advocate, challenges the prevailing narrative on social media that criticizes the choice to bring children into the world amidst chaos. By arguing that the awareness of societal issues may lead to a skewed perception of parenting today, the author emphasizes resilience and the historical context that suggests this may be the best time to raise Black children.
Unpopular opinion: Historically speaking, there has never been a better time to have Black children.
One big difference is that today, most of us spend a massive portion of our free time absorbing media that makes us painfully aware of all the atrocities.
