She will know, she has her mom (me, white) and all my family, which is large, and her dad (who is Fillipino) and his huge family.... what the heck is wrong with people! I was almost too stunned to react, but I did, at the last minute! (Not very mature on my part, but hey, nor was she!) I told her my dd had a better chance of knowing who she is due to 2 great families, as apposed to her kkk-type kids and thier sorry, deranged excuse for parents. I then add a few bleep words to top it off...I was so freaking mad, and still am...what the heck is wrong with people!
Serenity now, serenity now...... God help me if I ever see that bit@h again. aarrggghhhhh I could spew for days.... Half my family are hicks, i admit it, they are old school farmers (in a small town), who thought at first dh was black when they first met him, because he wasn't white, so therefore there is only one other color of people right!!! lol (idiots)But even they love him, and never are rude or disrespectful, he is acepted as family, and that's what he is, they all call him to talk to him, not me!!!! and this stupid cow, who lives in a big city with all different races can't grasp the fact????? Good Lord.

I do believe you let this woman get the upper hand. She said those hateful words to get a reaction from you. I liked what mommybeetx told you...it is exactly what my mom use to tell me to say...kind and loving words gives you the upper hand and makes you feel sooo much better. THEN get on this board and tell us how awful this person was. She is ignorant, that is it...ignorance. It doesn't get you anywhere. What you said in response is most likely not going to change her view BUT if you respond in a loving, kind manner your and her children will see that and she will be shocked and embarrassed!
Kill them with kindness and a smile....

I have calmed down now, and slept last night...didn't think I would!
I felt bad after posting the message, because this was a rare run in with an idiot, I am lucky, there are people who face this crap on a daily basis, and pay dearly for it. I felt kinda bad about my tirade, because I could be sooo much worse off, but thanks again!!! It's great to have a place to vent!!!
I know what you are saying....but my line of thinking is, why describe people in this manner to begin with? Unless someone has an obvious accent I refer to them as American.(Since I live in America)

Lesely...don't feel bad. This is the place to come and vent about these things.
You know, the first time this happened to my family I was so angry and hurt that I cried for a few days and could not sleep. I could not believe that someone couls look at my beautiful baby and hate him for the color of his skin. I kept imagining what was going to happen to him and all this doom and gloom thoughts entered my head.
I swear this is going to make you a better person :) Because you are aware...you will find yourself empathizing with people of all races and cultures. Having been blessed with the family I have has made me more compassionate and loving to ALL

My mother and father have completely changed and are now in our lives and every one is happy. I will never be the same, though. Never. I'm not bitter...I have learned how NOT to treat my boys, no matter what they do.
