racism...im on the verge of tears...
I log onto Facebook, just to see a message from some guy whose in the military with my ex (haven't been together for three years) telling me he doesn't understand how I could leave such a cool guy to be with some fatass and get pregnant with a nasty Indian baby. How can people be so cruel? And to degrade my unborn child? That's just taking it too damn far.

And to make me feel worse, I told my bf about it, and all he could say is well its your problem and you dealt
My brother just this week was saying that my daughter was going to grow up different from me because she looks black....it took everything in me not to cuss his butt out. Idiot. I told him he was right because im not like mom and he said that school would be different for her and I told him ur right...I plan on homeschooling so it would be different for her. I was sho led he could say something so racist and stupid. I didn't take him as that type of guy
I say judi-chop his ass b-(
@mshahir: have I ever told you that you are wildly hilarious and you make me giggle? :-))
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Anytime I would discuss the names we had picked for our baby (Muslim names), she would say "why are you compromising yourself?" When I said we'd raise our children Muslim and that I was thinking of converting, she again had to butt in and state her opinion (being a holy Christmas Catholic and all - meaning she just goes to church on Christmas).
I plan to teach my kids to have open minds and to embrace all cultures and differences as an opportunity to learn. It sickens me the comments people make because my husband is from Pakistan (they assume he is a terrorist wife beater) and little do they know, he is is the most amazing man I have ever met. THEY are the people who miss out due to their racism.
Anyway, long vent, but like you... I've decided to cut ties with my mother. I can't stomach her being around my kids with that type of attitude.
