((( HUGS ))) - to Greenleaves

I am sorry you are having to go thru this with your mother ...... and I do know how you are feeling for I have several great nieces & newphes that are bi-racial and I hate it when another person talks about black people as though they are from another plant and I often say "are you forgetting who you are talking to" - and the rude person will usually says some thing like: Oh I am so sorry I did not mean any thing about your family...... Yeah Right.

im in highschool and ive had issues with racism...my school is primarily white...and they dont understand the consequences of running their mouth...one kid sat next to me and kept saying a racial name about asians...and he totally didnt realize how disgusting it truely was...im an asian american so i take racism very seriously and schools that are primarily white have kids in them that have tendencies to say things without thinking about who they are hurting

I just saw this and was sorry to see your mom said that Greenleaves Racism I have seen racism in ever color...it's ugly in ALL colors and not exclusive to any color ...I wish you luck with this and just wish..naive as this may be ..that people would JUST GET ALONG and BE PEOPLE ..we are not colors we are people. I hate when some people of color think it is now OK to attack white people too...It is NEVER OK ..I look at the heart and person
