How about people stop taking offense at stupid, petty shit? Like this: yes, it's insulting to have a stranger call the police, concerned that your daughters are just random little girls you've kidnapped. Yes, it's horrifically racist to think that a white man would never marry a black woman* and father cute little biracial baby girls, so that white guy had to have kidnapped those little black girls.
Wal-Mart claims that a customer made the call. He and his wife state that they will never shop at Wal-Mart again, saying that it's horrible, and racist, and how dare they???
Except...it wasn't a Wal-Mart employee that made that call to the cops. It wasn't Wal-Mart's fault. If anyone is at fault, it's the random twit that made the call because the man and his children looked like they "didn't fit." Because he's pasty white, and the little girls are mocha latte.
However. He needs to think of it differently: what if someone had kidnapped his daughters? Wouldn't he want someone calling the police and reporting it?
Grow up, put on your big girl panties, and stop getting offended at petty crap, people. Laugh it off, or get mad, see if you can find out who made the call, and sue their ass for being stupid and racist. Don't blame it on people and institutions who had nothing to do with the whole situation besides being the location where the twit happened to have made the call.
*First of all, these people have been married for ten years. Despite racist twits giving them shit--from both races--about a biracial marriage. Second, they waited for six before having their first child. These children are likely to not be a tax burden--ever--unless their mother pulls the whole "You're not making me happy--get out" shit. And if she's smart, she won't.
Second...God have mercy, that was racist. Prosecute the dumb twit that made the call.

ReplyDeleteI betcha the "concerned customer" was black. Not white.
