latimes: Kurt Streeter writes about his mixed-race family in the paper today:  We had thought our newborn would have skin more like mine. We also figured I would teach him the lessons my parents taught me as I grew up in the 1960s and ’70s: Be proud of being black; but be ready, because you will always have to find a way around barriers large and small. My son won’t need those lessons. He’ll have what I can only imagine: white privilege. Photo: The columnist’s son, Ashe Streeter-Jhaveri was born. Credit: Kurt Streeter / Los Angeles Times
