Black Kids Socialized Into A White World

I get the authors main point here, although I'm not a fan of reducing all these types of discussions to black and white. I think she's making a smart observation, however, that "socialization" can too easily veer into stigmatization and put kids into boxes they don't belong to make the lives of teachers and bureaucrats easier at the expense of developing kids. It's a challenging situation that requires vigilance on many levels - that of parents, schools, and communities.
