[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't understand why either of the adults feel the situation in TX would even be a concern of anyone in McLean.  [/quote]

It only matters to one of the adults because her daughter was disinvited from a party because of it.

I think the AA woman should have just showed up as planned.  It was made into a huge deal, for what?  I'm sure nothing would have come of it and the kids would be better off.  the AA mom has her own bias, assuming McLean residents are racist. [/quote]

This is a pretty remarkable response and a classic of victim blaming. Just a couple of posts before, you were complaining about uninvited black kids showing up at a pool, getting beat up by the police, and then acting like they had won a gold medals. Now, you think that an uninvited black kid should have just shown up at a swimming pool.

If that wasn't enough, you have no words of criticism for the family that disinvited their friend because of her skin color, but you actually accuse the victim's mother of bias. I didn't see the AA mother making any assumptions about McLean residents. Rather, she actually wrote that she didn't know if the other mother is racist. If the residents of McLean are not racist (and I don't know any who are), I'd expect them to be the most outraged that someone was excluded on the basis of race.

You don't give credence to the emotional responses of early teen girls. She wasn't uninvited. The AA mom decided not to go. The other girl's mother simply expressed concern. I can understand the concern of both parents. But you don't give into fear like that.
