I came across this tonight and was really caught off guard. It shows that racism and hate are alive and well in today's America. There are some unpleasant and offensive words used in this video, but I sat down with my family and had them watch this with me.
This past election seems to have made people with these ignorant views feel emboldened. They feel way too comfortable climbing out from underneath their rock, and spewing hate. While this video is very ugly, I wanted my kids to experience this, and hear their thoughts. They were saddened by this woman's hateful speech and didn't understand why anyone would act this way.
Lizze and I spoke with them about how this isn't okay, no matter who says it is.
No one has the right to treat people the way this woman is treating the young lady in this video.
Assuming you are among the people in this country who believes these views are disgusting and hateful, please consider sharing this with your kids. Perhaps discuss what to do if they ever witness something like this.
Please share your thoughts...
