This is almost a dream come true. A support group for AA homeschoolers.
Here's the link for anyone else interested.
I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I have a very supportive homeschooling group here. There are activities, projects, etc. The only problem is that there are no people of color! None.
I think even that can effect my kids.

Thats awesome - wish we had Jewish homeschool support in the states!
As a product of home schooling myself, and the mother of a child with some LDs that the typical Jewish day school isn't really equipped to deal with, I can definitely say its something I would do if I could!
Kol HaKavod if u can!

I hear ya!
My daughter was practically the only black kid in her school. I thought nothing of it--that is, until she suddenly became color conscious.
She was very young at the time, preschool age.
Color was never an issue at home, but, somehow, from some where, she got the message that her color made her inferior.
Dad to the rescue: I told her, I loved her color, that she was my chocolate bunny, and that she should be proud of her color, just as other people are proud of theirs, regardless of pigmentation.
Over time, with persistent hugs, and affectionately calling her my "chocolate bunny," the problem quietly returned from whence it came.
Today, she has no color issues.
My mother had a book about African American homeschoolers.
I was part of a Jewish homeschooling organization the whole time I was homeschooled during my teens.
Kylopod,
I never knew you were homeschooled!
