Linny, wouldn't we like to believe that this woman would even CONSIDER "helping in any way"???? She didn't care about HELPING!!! She only cared to spout her own ugliness in the presence of young and beautifully pure children. She is ignorant beyond measure and nothing the poster could have said would have changed it. I'm cc, married to an aa man with black adopted children. We are lucky enough to have received nothing but support in our church, among our friends and family, regarding our adoptions (well, my mom questioned my sanity at my age -- 50's -- for our last adoption). But when my husband and I have received looks, stares and GLARES from others regarding our being together as a couple, it always came from OLDER, CAUCASIAN men. I also had a black boss (an attorney) who was very blunt about how some AA women feel when they see a successful black man with a white woman, but I believe she said it in friendship and a bond of understanding between the two of us.
Ignorant, racist folks DON'T CARE about making things better for this world. They'd rather cloak themselves in ugliness and live in it. Thankfully, they will DIE in it also and there's not much any of us can do about that (even if we wanted to). DID I SAY THAT?????
I agree with NickChris to get your children involved with POSITIVE AA folks who will work with you to provide the accepting and self-esteem building feelings that your children need so badly right now. I am SO SORRY that your children are suffering at the hands of a racist idiot.
