re: #245 HappyWarrior

In the mid-90s one of my distant cousins married a black man. My mother insisted that SHE didn’t have a problem with Tommy, she just worried about how people would treat their daughter. Every time I heard this, I’d ask her, “You mean how people like YOU would treat their daughter?”

My cousin ended up addicted to crack and losing custody of their daughter to Tommy, and I can tell you that none of the bigots in my family saw THAT coming.
