On Saturday as I was leaving work I had a little altercation with a racist black woman (who claimed to be Christian.one of THOSE TYPES) that has refused to have anything to do with me since my daughter's father is white. I will avoid her at all costs if possible,I really don't have anything to say to her,but am tempted to point out her hypocricy if she confronts me.I do not feel ashamed of my daughter,she is a beautiful person and I love her,this person's opinion means nothing,nor does anyone else's that objects.Black people,especially thses types,claim to not be racist in the least,that they are victims of racism from the white man,then turn around and hate and shun those that have done nothing to them or anyone at all.I don't hate white people,I don't blame them for slavery,no one is alive from that era,why are there still people that hold a grudge?Besides,my ex's family are immigrants from Finland,his greatgrandparents were born and raised there,his grandparents were servants.

I misspelled these, lol!
I'm kind of mad though.
I just imagine what she'd think if she knew that I'm multi racial there is no way for me to keep MY race pure.

Your attitude is commendable. I say that this woman is not worth your time and worry. She is being petty and foolish. You could simply ignore her. People who are so blatantly rude get annoyed when they lose their audience. If she doesn't get the obvious hint of you ignoring her, and she persists in making an issue where none belongs, you could simply inform her that it's your policy not to engage in debates with ignorant people and then walk away. Or you could tell her that you love your daughter very much and you would rather love your daughter and teach her to accept everyone rather than to defend her against others who are motivated by ignorance and hate. I don't know. I only know that you are in the right and you do not owe that woman anything. She was out of line. You were not. You owe her nothing. If you can be the better person and don't be rude back, then that will earn you extra brownie points because she will not have a leg to stand on against you and her own rudeness will not be competing with yours. Hold your ground. You are in the right.

There is no reason for an altercation, unless that woman is just really so rude that she can't keep her close-minded thoughts to herself. I'm a Black woman myself, and knowing the hipocracy of some Black people has never left my mind. Some of us are supportive of people being who they are and excepting others, and some aren't. Black people in general take racism to a whole different extreme. Just because there are hide away racist doesn't mean make a bold appearance showing sarcasm to other races. You don't have to be White to be racist, and I believe people know that, but some how many Black people want to make that statement false. It's ashame that you have to hate people because of historical events to make a point which is not one at all, since you weren't there. And that whole talk about we are from Africa and we should embrace it when in reality No one would want to live in Africa than America. Africa is beautiful, but why are we making that our speach that we feel we deserve to say what we want and that we have all this power to take over? If that's the case, us it for good deeds, because I don't see much of that within our number of people who discriminate even agaisnt each other and want to physicall and verbally fight people for a freedon of speech that has been granted to all? Why not use that power to help our people and others love each other and build this country to be a United Nation, because we are not.

this can be replied in such a lot of diverse concepts. The logical, sensible-*** answer on even as day after today will end is 11:fifty 9.59pm 9 Feb 2007. yet even as will it really end? once you doze off? even as the clock strikes lifeless night? even as the sunlight is going down? day after today would also stretch into eternity as "day after today" is often used as a which means for the destiny and under no circumstances in simple terms the subsequent day. so a concepts as will there'll be an afternoon after today?.....probable. yet there is not any reality. day after today isn't a given. in simple terms because the sunlight rose correct this second and universal for the previous trillion years does no longer mean it is going to upward thrust day after today morning. there is not any medical regulation mandating the sunlight to upward thrust day after today morning. yet, i could positioned my funds on it although.

first off i leave purity for the story books in my experience it has no place in the real world, secondly just tune her out that would be the easiest way to go, folks like that rarely change unless they want to until then talking to them would like trying to sail to china in a wicker canoe. it may not be easy but hey nothing worth doing ever is, keep fighting the good fight darlin'

She's not even worth the time, like all racists you should n't get affected by what they say as their just mindless donkeys. But seeing as its inevitable your going to bump into her, if she insists on stating her ignorant views then of course you should point out her hypocrisy as well as many other of her character flaws.

girl brush ya shoulders off on that hoe. im black and i don't hold no type of grudge against nobody. its good to learn about slavery in the history books but it ain't healthy to pick out interracial relationship and apply it to the past. tell her it ain't none of her business. and besides you should keep your personal life personal at work don't let nobody at the work place know anything about cause its nobody business.you go to work TO WORK! forget them people

I think you have a great head on your shoulders. You should pat yourself on the back for not feeding into her ideas of what is right. Just let it go and focus on your family.

You cannot change people minds by arguing or forcing them. Only way for her to change is to befriend her and let her realize on her own terms that color is only skin deep.
