You are famous for it. It's stated worldwide. I have lived in ex-pat communities overseas and worked overseas, where things that are unacceptable are acceptable by certain US citizens. I honestly in my heart think thats why alot of you bag your current POTUS, because he is black, whether it is subconcious or not. I think some of you hate that a black man is your leader. Some of you guys in here are really racist. So when someone makes a racist remark, and a personal one, its acceptable. Because it's not happening to them.
I don't care if someone wants to jerk my chain they can leave children in my family out of it. Also, I have not disclosed my family status details, no one knows or will know who, what, where or when. Thats none of their business. Maybe your reality is that there are fewer haters in here, but that is not my current experience. I have left 2 postings to threads today. Saying very minimal, 1 of those got 2 replies that was deliberately trying to insult me, ususally it's alot more. Just because it is not happening to you this time, does not mean it is not happening.
The bottom line is, the remarks were racist, hateful, bigotted and the subject was my child. I don't expect you to empathise or care.
But, I will say this, everyone supported you when you got death threats in here didn't they Cracker?
