The older girl (about 6 yrs. old) said 'we're pretty little white girls now.' The grandmother just took them and left. The sad thing is that I'm sure they've heard that from the adults they're around and they'll grow up feeling inferior because of it.

This little guy, is my nephew... His mother is caucasian and his father is Black and has a medium dark brown complexion like me. We all truly love this young man, but his mother refuses to accept his diverse heritage in both her interactions and friendships with various children. But, that is how his father, my brother, wanted it. My nephew actually has features reminscent to a combination of both my mother and father's and his mother families' genetics. The prominent features are his forehead and nose and some facial shaping that are distinctly AKA_Monet's family...
