I am not the PP. But this is McLean, VA? I am not saying this story is not true, but it seems Susie is crazy. McLean, VA right, not McLean, Kentucky or Mississippi.

Did you ever just think, Susie and Becky are crazy? [/quote]

Yes, McLean, VA. I don't think Susie or Becky are crazy.  I think Susie is the type described by a poster up thread. She doesn't want to fight anyone else's fight.  She just wants to have a party for her little girl with no drama.  My DD's presence might cause drama.  She didn't call me back to say it was a misunderstanding, Becky didn't clarify today with DD or  ask her if she was coming.  Such is life.  My point was that it was no big deal to her to basically dis-invite my DD because she is AA, and some of her pool members might say something.   Party went on as planned.  That's cool.  But now I have to deal with the fall-out. And there already is.  I have received 4 emails asking why DD wasn't at the party when we originally said we would be there.  But that might be because I was supposed to bring deviled eggs and everyone loves my deviled eggs.   :lol: [/quote]

I would tell everyone EXACTLY Why your daughter wasn't at the party. Susie didn't want black people there. [/quote]

I know it seems like I am living on this thread waiting to post and I kinda am, just bored today.  I was supposed to be at a pool party.

I don't think "Susie didn't want black people there". My DD was originally invited to the party (and asked to bring deviled eggs) weeks ago.  The dis-invite cam after all the Texas stuff.   She didn't want to have to stand up to someone, have her DD party ruined if something popped off because of what happened in Texas.  Does that make her a racist? Maybe.  Do I think she is of poor character? Yes.  But I try really hard not to judge people.[/quote]

I admire your ability to handle this situation with grace. Personally, I would have exploded beyond description (the posters accusing me of being emotional would have seen what the truly emotional side of me looks like). Perhaps you need to address this more directly with Susie and Becky? Let them hear how the situation made you and your daughter feel. Maybe ask Susie directly how she thinks you should respond to those asking about your daughter's absence? She seems to think that her actions were justified, so let her offer an explanation to the others.

That mother had every right to decide who she wants or does not want at her kids pool party.  Rude?  Yes-but still within her rights.  Sadly, we are going to see more petty things like this given the severe racial tensions and fears that are plaguing our society!

Well to be honest, if a parent of a child who goes to school with my child, they are friends, and that family has dined in my home more than once (i.e., the families KNOW each other well),  I would be furious if that family disinvited my daughter because of something that happended thousands of miles away.  It is their right - sure.  But I would make sure that everyone who asked KNEW how it went down.  And frankly, if White people are willing to treat the AA's THEY KNOW WELL shabbily because of some shit that happened in Texas, that is BEYOND petty! [/quote]
