Historically, African American parents have struggled to negotiate the tensions related to raising their children in a hostile society. The recent and tragic events involving the murders of unarmed African American boys and men by police officers, enraged motorists, and vigilante neighbors have sparked a resurgence in discussion and activism related to these historic tensions. In addition to protests and a heightened level of public discourse, there is also new emphasis on African American parents having "the Talk" with their children, particularly their sons. "The Talk" represents the "surviving interactions with police or other members of authority" discussion and is largely considered an essential rite of passage in African American homes. And, although the pretext for "the Talk" is providing children with the rule book for survival from an authoritative source, the subtext for this conversation is the inherent powerlessness of African American parents and their inability to protect their children. Despite its necessity, "the Talk" has an ugly underside that also manifests in disruptions to child development, families, and the larger community. These disruptions are particularly critical in an allegedly postracial environment
