You know the evolution of a human being is such a personal thing. You dont take attraction as some "phase" thing. We all make preferences one way or another. You can instill in your child the beauty of your people. Yet, you cant force that child to make decisions that will injure your relationship down the road. Sometimes, you just have to let your child go down that road for themselves to see, observe and analyze. If you are training your child then that training will manifest itself one way or another. The point is, instead of worrying about who your child finds attractive. Make sure that his focus is on accomplishing the tasks set before him, graduating and indentifying goals and making strides to hit those goals. If you have worked hard to set a good example before him, place your confidence in that. There is no need to worry about that if you have done your job. Lighten up, he is just a child. If anything, instruct your son on the laws of manipulation and how to prevent being manipulated by any woman or man for that matter in life. One of the greatest gifts a human being can possess is discernment. It is the difference between making good choices and bad ones. People fail in this area too often and something is natural as choosing relationships are key. If you are doing your job, trust that your son will do his. You want the best for your son. Any parent does. Just remember that at the end of the day, it his choice. Just believe, equip, instruct and allow his progression as a human being to take place. Just because he is leaning towards white girls today, doesnt mean he will do so in the future.
