When mixed-race couples disagree about raising racially conscious children

My partner and I are both mixed-race but from completely different backgrounds and when we talk about our future kids, we realize we have totally different ideas about how to navigate racial identity with them and haven't figured out how to bridge that gap. We keep dancing around it because it feels so personal to both of us.
