<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

So, when I first read [this post]  I was surprised because it made me think differently about Black History month being celebrated in younger age groups. As a teacher and mother of a 2nd grader, I thought this parent may have a point. I read the comments, most everyone disagreed, and I moved on. 

Cut to a few nights ago, my second grader (who is a white female) tells me she isn't proud of being white because white people did such bad things to brown people. I was floored. I have never really questioned teaching Black History month before this and I still think it is an important history to teach however, my 7 year old experienced white guilt and that sucks. 

I stammered, trying to explain that most every "kind" of people (whether is be gender, race, religion, etc) had something positive and negative to add to society. Jumped back and forth about issues with today and Women's rights and gay rights. I couldn't figure out how to approach it all gently and was starting to fail. I finally just explained to her that she cannot blame herself for the history of others and it is up to her to create her own legacy. 

I understand that children see color. I've had to explain that it doesn't make a difference what the outside looks like, etc. But, how much detail should we go into with our kids? Is it detrimental to our children for them to know about civil rights atrocities at the age of 7 or should we be encouraging a future without those atrocities?
<bot>: 7 year old feeling white guilt because of Black History Month. Are we giving these kids too much of a history lesson?
