[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 288222, member: 1233"] Janet, WHY did Jamie choose her? Surely he is starting to see the error of this choice? She sounds like a poorly educated not too bright person, what the education system used to call "EMH" or educatable mentally handicapped. NO WAY can ANYONE in this day and age not know this is offensive. No. Way. Though she probably thought cracker was a term for some "other" group of people. As for the black baby dolls, what happens if you just STOP. STARE at her in horror. And then tell her very clearly that it is NOT ok to say derogatory things about your grandkids. If she cannot rid herself of the racism, she CAN learn not to express it around you. Even dogs can learn that different places have different rules. She isn't as smart as a dumb dog, but if you stop all conversation and stare at her like she just took a dump in the middle of the living room and then danced around nekkid smearing it on herself, well, she WILL get the message. Jamie won't let her keep teh kids from you for long. If you have not said anything up to now, then you might start by calling Jamie when he won't be at home and asking him if his values have changed, if he is OK with his children being taught to be racist??? Then he might be able to work on this. Otherwise, go for shock and horror when she does this. As for skin tone, I am the fairest person you will ever see. I make those white makeuped vampires look like they just spent a week at the beach! I never get darker, though I do get lobster red. husband is at darkest a light medium tone olive complexion. Until he hits the sun. I prayed our kids would tan like him. The kids all are darker than I am, though Jess is not a whole lot darker. In the summer they ALL look at the lightest like "Indians", meaning native american. We have a decent amount of native american, enough to qualify for benefits. At least I do and my kids do. And from husband's side there is also some. I would refuse to have her around, just as I would not let my kids be around if they spoke like that about anyone. They have already seen me send them to their room or take them home from a gathering for being that disrespectful. I don't CARE, nor should you, if ignorance or being raised "backward" or whatever is the reason she treats Keyana like a red headed left handed step child, I would tell my son to get her out of my home until she can apologize and act like she is fit to be around my family. Stand up to her. Let her have a fit. I have great faith that you can out tantrum her. Remember, you helped write the book on gfgishness. Tap back into that. NO WAY can you let her treat Keyana like that. Or raise her children to believe it is OK. And if your son is helping instill these values (which I doubt) then you need to know that also. This has to stop before it hurts keyana. If it hasn't already. Do you know that given the exact same face, just with black skin and with white skin, children who are not white almost ALWAYS say the white skinned image is prettier? They truly believe that it is so. Stand up for your beliefs. Make SURE Jamie is aware of this racist behavior when one of HIS kids could end up with Keyana's skin tone or even darker skin. [/QUOTE]
