My daughter has experienced her first incidence of racism towards her.

I'm so sorry that happened to your daughter and her family. The person who said that it is an idiot and your daughter has a good perspective on it. You have a wonderful, beautiful family.

"Every people stupid now, always talking shit."

My Spanish co worker says. I can't say he is wrong. My kid got nailed in the face by a hanger a customer threw. I wanted to go in there and commit murder but was talked out of it.

Signed, million man

What a stupid thing to say (the old woman I meant).

A great response your daughter could have gave was: "girl, what do you know about angels? You're going to hell."

To quote Willy Wonka:
“Help. Police. Murder.”

Disgraceful.

And -- fair play to your daughter -- but I don't think you can excuse that through age. She made her do the drawing again? Very deliberate, active racism rather than the accidental, ignorant kind. There's a power trip involved there. Over a ten year old.

Sorry to make this prediction: but I have a suspicion this won't be the last such incident involving this woman. I think you're going to have to step in eventually. But hopefully I'm wrong. And I think you're right to respect your daughter's wishes this time.

Wow, this is a very timely coincidence! I was just falsely accused of hating black people by a trouble maker in my neighborhood. I wound up in a confrontation with a somewhat new neighbor who was allowing and encouraging her dogs to constantly crap in my yard. Anyway, the trouble maker, another neighbor, inserted herself into the fray and was fanning the flames of the conflict by trying to accuse me of racism because the newer neighbor has a black boyfriend. Yeah, I know, this really sounds like drama, which it basically is, but it all just kind of erupted spontaneously. And the real reason the troublemaker made that accusation is because I once openly exposed her to some other black neighbors for being two-faced, treacherous. She was so infuriated during that incident, she threatened to stab me with her bbq skewer. She's an out-of-control, alcoholic nutcase. The black boyfriend was there but remained silent, just taking it all in. He seemed to empathize with me when I accused her of playing the race card.

Yeah, I'm still trying to wind down myself. 😀

Stupid is as stupid does! Sometimes you just can’t fix stupid! I’m so sorry this was said to your daughter. The remark was pure ignorance! I currently have sympathy angels placed on my buffet. Some have blonde hair and some have what color hair? BROWN! Copy & Paste the following. Then enter each one on Amazon. I would give the links, but each one has a loooong string.

You have a gracious daughter, but I would not let this go. I would take screenshots of the above and with respect show them to the scout leader. I would say very nicely “My daughter informed me the group was instructed to draw angels. How wonderful because we all need angels in our lives during these trying times. I thought you might be interested in seeing these. They depict how we are here on earth. Aren’t they beautiful?”
