No one is really thinking about that aspect - just the fact they had fun teasing a child (at the expense of his or her feelings) on the way God made them - PERFECTLY IN HIS IMAGE. We AA's really need to check ourselves sometimes because we sho' can show our ignorance at the most inopportune times.

Well actually I was teased as a child on a multitude of things, including, but not limited to: hair (not nappy), my eyes, clothes, looks, my intelligence, etc. so yes I can see that some of that teasing was unnecessary but as my mother taught me: People are going to talk about you no matter what you do.
Anyway, you feel one way and I feel another. This topic was started in fun and I appreciate that because it started a trip down memory lane. Some people tend to get bent out of shape over the little stuff.
