Good luck in your quest. None of us are guaranteed success when it comes to children. Don't lie though.. you were'nt secure in the knowledge otherwise you wouldnt of come here and asked the question. Unless you just wanted poeple to agree and give you that good ol secure feeling..

No problem about the username. I knew it wasnt malicious. I know everything.

nuf luv and respect to you all for your contribtions- its a just a shame children dont come with manuals, as for most of us parenting is based on how we were raised and what we kno through experiance.

i by no means proclaim to be as strong minded as i would like to be-being a piceses kind of takes that away from me to a degree. this is why i asked for your mature opinions as many of you im sure have come across this issue with your own.

to be honest i was kind of seeking a little reasurrance from the forum-but have welcomed all comments as i kno it is a contriversal subject that many have strong views on. and rightfully so OUR CHILDREN ARE OUR FURTURE

AGAIN i thank you all and hope that if nothing we can all agree that black history is as important as having a black future-and that although our history is important our future depends on what we do and dont do today.
