OMFG!

Sorry for the OTT title, but I simply can't believe this.

I know it's from the Daily Hate Mail, but still...

Article

I can't believe this is a mother talking about her child :-(

I think that was a very honest description of a mother's concerns over raising a mixed-race child. While I don't agree with some of the things she said, I have to commend her honesty.


Think of the child for a second.  How do you think reading such an article would affect them?

Honesty or not, this is the kind of thing that would have better been discussed with family or a healthcare professional.  These are people who could help her deal with this apparent situation rather than broadcasting it to the world (and I gather making a bit of cash out of the deal too).

It's not the underlying racist tones that bother me about this article, it's the way she is talking about her own child and the possible consequences for her in the future.
