1st time my dc was racially abused

[Cocoabutterkim]

As a black mum you always know the day will come where your dc are racially abused but god it still feels like a big fucking kick to the gut. The N word was used by another child at school to put my dc in their place.

I remember my first time vividly and feel sad that even this many years on my dc has experienced the same thing at primary school. They are the fairest of my dc so I’d almost assumed that the ‘privilege’ they have would limit this behaviour but they are the 1st to receive it.

I don’t know why I’m posting really, I’m dealing with school constructively so far etc and dc is fine

They had been using her photo extensively on their promotional stuff and website too I made them remove her images

MN is a funny place sometimes.

Last week posters were falling over themselves to tell a white British poster to report a child of Indian heritage to SS and insist she is recommended to PREVENT because the Indian child referred to British colonialism in her retorts to the white child when they had a disagreement.

Posters thought she was being groomed and exhibiting signs of extremism for mentioning accurate historical facts that upset the OP's DD.

Meanwhile what faces opposition is reporting someone to SS for raising your DC in a racist environment, which is actually extremism, because racism is not a difference of opinion but actually dehumanising and harmful as well as could lead to hate speech (a criminal offence).

Good ol' MN eh?

Back on topic.

@Cocoabutterkim I’m so sorry for both you and your son. It’s heartbreaking. It makes you feel so powerless. I’m so sorry
