Why would he be crazy? Unless he has heard other people say bad things. When children see someone new they stare not flip out. Black people are just like the rest of us, God made their skin color and culture different but they are after the same thing. A safe home, a good job and love. Your son needs to understand they are like him and DONT freak out because he sees someone of a different color.
There are more Black people in my area then anything else and I love it. If everyone would get along better it would be a better world. Teach your son now that because people are different doesnt mean they are bad.

Black what? I assume you mean person? You simply explain (on a level that he can understand) that there are people of different skin colors all around the world, and he will see those that look different than he does from time to time....moreso as he gets older and gets out into the world.
I'm not sure why this is an issue. People have been traveling the world for centuries and going places where people of other skin color were predominant...
I don't understand the "what can I do?"...are you trying to shield him from people that don't look like him, or figure out how to explain to him that not everyone looks the same?

Yes, let your son know that people come in different sizes, shapes and colors. I think there are books written for kids on the subject. He's only two years old, so he might not quite understand... but maybe you can find picture books showing people from all over the world?
I think it's a good idea for parents to be accepting of other races.. we are all made of the same "stuff", just look different.
take care.

It would take time for your son to get used to it, so for the moment just don't do anything until he is older, i got brought up in East London where there are different cultures, but my eldest daughter didn't so it took her a while to relies that it is just a skin colour, she now 7 and plays with children from different cultures, it would be the same for your son. To be honest he is to young to talk to, as my youngest is 2 year and i wouldn't know what to say to her, they are just to young to understand. Well good luck, and don't listen to other people's comments most of them have properly got no kids, if they did they wouldn't be coming out with stupid comments

Well there isn't much YOU CAN DO, they aren't going AWAY and they're popping up EVERYWHERE! All you can do the calm any fears your son may have is to explain to him, hopefully without ANY HATE involved, the differences between "Whites" and "Blacks" as far as the color of their skin, that the cultures differ in different environments and areas and that all "Black" people, especially the Men, aren't bad as the fact that all "White" people aren't good. You didn't mention if the "Black" was menacing to anyone, was dressed a certain way that bothered your son as well as others, nor did you say anything about any "rowdy behavior" by this indivdual. Did anything bad occur? Did your son or others feel threathened? I really hope that any negative press or ideas of others made your son react the way he did, because believe it or not, There are some Really Great, Law Abiding, Morally Upstanding Black People in ALL societiesthat want the same thing as Whites want...To be able work and make their lives comfortable and to be allowed to without being judged by the Color of their skins and be judged by the actions of the "Bad Element" that some others Blacks decide to indulge in. Believe it or not, they probably maf=de it to your Village in Lincolnshire because THEY DIDN'T WNAT TO BE AROUND THAT ELEMENT, THEMSELVES...They wanted Peace of mine, and to be able make a better life for themselves and I'm sure their children. So all I can suggest is to "Live and Let Live". If it's meant to be, it's going to be. We all want to protect our children from any and all harm, mentally, emotionally and especially physically but if there's no immediate, emminate danger to them (you never mentioned any), then it's up to you as a parent to calm all fears and teach them what to be prepared for IF and WHEN it presents itself when it comes to ALL PEOPLE, not just Blacks. If you tell him negatives about what a few have done, he'll paint that picture in his mind and hold on to it FOR A WHOLE RACE OF PEOPLE, that almost certainly, hasn't done a thing to anyone and is only trying to live and survive. Be carefull...you do not want to create a "Hating Machine". Good Luck with your son as well as learning to cope with others that are the same as you...That's a Job in itself and They Aren't Going Away....Believe That.

Your son is probably shocked, because your are probably shocked aswell and he may have sensed it from you. Whats the big deal, he is human isn't he, and what do u mean 'what can i do'. You shouldnt have to do anything. Just get along with everyone, that way everybody is happy. Perhaps you could invite him round, or speak with him, so you show your son that colour means nothing at all. This could send a message to your son that talking to anyone of different race is not a big deal.

Are you for real!? WTF!
Lady, you need to take your son on a little vacation and get the hell out of Lincolnshire, where ever that is, and see the world, and all the different colored people. I can understand your child's point of view, being scared, because he is just a baby. Just know that you are raising a ignorant, backward child in the 21st century, and you really need to travel to open his mind, and broaden his understanding.
O, and the politically correct term is African Americans FYI. Teach your kid that too.

`We live in a really nice village in Lincolnshire...' such a shame this `huge' black person (i guess you meant to say) had to come along and spoil it. How pathetic!!! You should have taught your child to be aware of the differences in people. My kids have associated with other children of diiferent colours, cultures and disabilites from a very early age. I guess the problem lies with yourself rather than your child.

I think you are refering to black people. at around two years old children start to realize the difference in people. Skin color, eye color, etc. He may have seen black people before, but didn't notice it. Their minds don't make that realization till around age two. I remember one child saying, "Look Mom a chocolate man is over there." It is natural and how you handle it will make the world of difference. Explain that they have a different skin color but they are the same as you and me just darker.
Good luck
