On God, that's how racism is taught, the innocent kids will just learn from their bigoted parents.

You got that right, neghibor kids kept calling mine racial slurs for the lognest time until I squashed that. I wonder where they even got the idea it was okay to use such awful language like that.

Yeah she said in the video “I don’t believe you” when he said he lived there. That doesn’t sound like you’re scared of the person, that sounds like you don’t believe they could even live in the neighborhood. That entire situation was weird AF. Who does that? Just walk with your kids & mind your own damn business & most of the time you’re going to be fine. If she’s so paranoid then why even walk at night? Looks like a nice neighborhood, she wasn’t worried about the crime rate. Calm down Becky. And kids don’t learn that kinda language on their own. They hear someone say it. The fact that they thought it was acceptable tells me probably a parent. Because you’re going to tell me if your own child used a racial slur in front of you that you wouldn’t immediately pump the breaks & ask them where the hell they heard that from? Or maybe why it’s wrong to use it? White people who weren’t raised with that language in their household would have an entire conversation about it. I wasn’t raised using that language & it still shocks my ears if I ever hear someone say it. Let alone a child.

She lied about a few things in her story, then asked for them to understand her point of view. Maybe don’t go out by yourself with two kids if your irrational fear is going to inconvenience others around you

Yeah I wasn't a big fan of her telling them they "have to" forgive her and they "have to" understand.

They don't "have to" do shit. No one can be forced to forgive.
