High school seniors Phillip Freeman and Anna Hayes, from Lake Village, Ark., attended their school prom last week.
Although the two good friends had a fantastic time, Annas father didnt approve of her attending with a black student, and subsequently went on a racist tirade after seeing social media photos of the event. We are done. I wont be coming to your graduation. Nor will I pay for your college. Go live with the n***ers, he begins in a text message.
I went to prom with a black guy so thats a problem? Racist much, Anna responded.
Yes I am, he admitted. Your dead to me.

My Daughter asked me not to tell (friend's Father) about it. Yeah, I understood. He watched Fox News.

(4,959 posts)"...Anna said that she and her father havent had much of a relationship since her early teens when she moved in with her mom. Her parents divorced when she was younger, and she remembers her father being openly racist around her when growing up. Annas half-sister on her mothers side is biracial so she finds her fathers views incredibly painful..."
Perhaps something about the mother having had a child with a person of color is part of this asshole dad's problem?

Do "politically correct bullies" try to beat you out of protecting your daughter from predators? That's so sad. All those "politically correct bullies" are just making it so hard for those dads who want to protect their daughters from predators. They probably don't even KNOW that the black guy is a predator. Which we know because we know nothing about him other than that he's a black guy.
Your world must be very difficult.

(7,300 posts)Or a fire? Or any other number of things that happen everyday in America? I personally think we should circulate stories like this far and wide as a Public Service to citizens so these racists can't hide. Maybe a 24 hour cable channel dedicated to callimg out and exposing these idiots...call it GOPee TeeVee?

So she should probably qualify for a substantial amount of aid unless her mother makes a lot of money.

(111,245 posts)Parents divorced, Dad got custody, teenaged daughter moves back to Mom and her biracial younger sister. There are some serious family dynamics there.
I doubt anyone with as poor a grasp of English as he has was in much of a position to contribute to her education, anyway.
