“Love is the reason why my mother and father stick together in a hard life when they might each have an easier one apart; love is the reason why you choose a life with someone, and you don't turn back although your heart cries sometimes and your children see you cry and you wish out loud that things were easier. Love is getting up each day and fighting the same fight only to sleep that night in the same bed beside the same person because long ago, when you were younger and you did not see so clearly, you had chosen them.” HeartChildrenPersonsLongSometimesHardReasonMightTogetherMotherNightTurnsFightingFatherWishSleepLove IsCryEasierBedOur ChildrenSticksChosenLoudReason WhyYour ChildrenEach DayYou ChooseLong AgoMother And FatherHard Life Author:Kao Kalia Yang

“Growing up as a black kid with a white father who loves you, who affirms you, who was part of your life is fundamentally different than what black people in my family were subjected to in the 19th century or the 18th century. But unfortunately, it doesn't change the old racial order. I think we need to let the old racial order just stay where it is and not seek to improve upon it. Not try to create more racial categories, because all that does is it makes a race stick around longer.” PeopleThinkingNeedsTryingDoeDifferentKidsLife IsOrderFatherBlackWhiteRaceGrowing UpGrowingCenturyLove YouMy FamilySticksCategoriesBlack People19th Century18th Century Author:Benjamin Jealous
