White Family Beaten for being in Black Neighborhood

[VMI77]

What VMI77 said... x2.

A few years ago I PO'd a cultural diversity training facilitator during required training at work. She began the training by making everyone introduce themselves to the group and identify their race. This was humorous to me because I work with several folks of mixed heritage.

Naturally being onery, when my turn came I said my race was Texan. The facilitator informed me that Texan isn't a race and asked me to tell everyone my race. I smiled and said, "Little lady, you're obviously not from these parts. My folks came across the Atlantic in 1750, fought in every war since then and got to Texas in the 1850's. I am a Christian Texan first and anything else a distant second."

You could hear a pin drop as I sat down. Then folks started clapping. I got a dirty look as she moved on to the next part of her social programming.

That's the kind of stuff I did where I used to work. Where I work now we simply don't have to deal with nonsense like that.

I think on the census we sent in "human" on the race bit. I was surprised we did not get a visit. What nonsense anyway.

I am sorry for this family, I hope they catch he perps.

So its a hate crime? Oh yea, doesn't work that way.
