White mother of black children (and white children) tells it like it is.

47. No, that's just the name of the web page, not of the writer.

The title, in white letters on a black background, is:

Mother of two black and three white kids' post on racism is a must read

And immediately below the title it says:

'What I did not realise until now is that the cloak I was offering my kids was identification with my whiteness,' writes Kate Riffle Roper.

And at the very end of the piece it again gives the writer credit.

(This post first appeared on Kate Riffle Roper's Facebook page.)


And what difference does it make that the post is from a year ago? It's NOT reporting. It's an opinion piece by Kate Riffle that is just as true today.


It seems odd that you are nitpicking on this stuff while completely ignoring the seriousness of the topic Kate addresses.
