(2,899 posts)My son hasn't lived in the same state as me for decades. He's lived all over the middle east, Europe and the American south. He's now retired to Alaska to start a very nice profitable second career.
You may consider Chicago as the real world but I encouraged my son to explore planet earth, which he did. He did it as a human being and not as a black man (which he is) raised to believe every slight, odd look was racism and the world was out to get him.
Yes he was raised privileged all right. He was privileged to have had me and his dad as his parents!
I have a granddaughter and she also is being raised as a human being and citizen of the planet.
If you were to venture out of Chicago you will find people have had enough of the race baiting and I'm afraid it's hurting the Democratic party.
