Everything Faux news broadcasts is absolutely 100% true -- and getting news, op/eds on the internet is just listening to crazies who don't know anything, aren't news people and it's lies, all lies . . .

And if you disagree you're ignorant, stupid, snotty, delusional and worthless and are going to ruin the country.

And yes, these people (my parents) WOULD and have made comments similar to Fran's vent, and they didn't act that way when I was growing up. It's something they've started since they've been mesmerized by The Network, exacerbated by the church they've been attending the last ten years or so.

It's not usually meant in the erm..traditional..hateful scream it from the white hoods kind of way.
It's subtle, VERY KIND, humorous even..and just as annoying.

It's no fun getting compared to food products at all times. I don't call you my little whipped cream friend..don't call me your little caramel one. Starbucks drinks are just that..drinks. I am not a latte caramel whatever.

It sucks that everything you do also feels like a kind of *oh and you get an extra cookie because you're a MINORITY*
Got an A on a physics exam? "Fran, this is excellent work.. as a female minority it's so nice to see you shine so brightly in this class"
..why do I have to shine so brightly as a female minority? Do I not shine just as much just for being Fran?

It sucks having people assume you are poor or had a rough childhood, there is a lot of weird pity kindness that comes with it. This happens A LOT. A big group of friends will be making dinner plans and one will very kindly tell JUST me something like "Oh don't worry..they have really reasonably priced stuff too!" or offer to pay for me.
or people will hear I went to private school or something as a child and say something like "You are so lucky to have parents who would make that kind of sacrifice and go without so you could attend school in a nice place"
..we didn't go without because I went to private school.
..we lived in a nice area so our local public school was a nice place.. I just preferred private school.

You get a GOLD MEDAL AND A COOKIE FOR BEING "their kind" of attractive.
"Your hair is so pretty! You are so lucky you got THIS kind of hair HA HA HA"
"That is such a cute dress, you dress so preppy! Not ghetto at all

"
"You are so lucky you got caramel skin, it's so pretty! I can't imagine being THAT dark"

This has happened to me at least 5 times
"What does your father do?"
"Oh he's a surgeon."
"You never told me you were adopted!"

I cannot believe people are like this. It honestly sickens me.

Do I think you have gorgeous hair and skin? Absolutely but I'm not going to say you grew up poor or your parents sacrificed so much for you to go to private school or this that and the other. Its stupid. Racist people disgust me.
I grew up with a terrible mom, one who physically, emotionally, and verbally abused me, and to this day still emotionally and verbally abuses me. I have actually had people tell me it was all in my head because my mom is just so great and perfect. My mom puts on a front for people and always has. No one has lived in my shoes and I wouldn't dare put that on my worst enemy.
I have heard most of my life that white kids have it good and their parents are perfect and no wrong can come to them. I'm sorry... excuse me? Wrong, just wrong.
I went to private school in 10th grade and I HATED it.
I LOVED being homeschooled in 11th and 12th grade and if I could do it all over again, I would of loved to have been homeschooled my whole life.

I am sorry you have to deal with that bullshit Fran. Racism is about the stupidest thing in this **** world.

While I am in a bitching mood, I am stressed, dehydrated, haven't really ate anything in 4 days, haven't had a cigarette in almost 2 days (not by choice), my hormones are all over the place because I got off of my birth control because it was ****ing with my body, my tale bone is completely bruised through thanks to me falling off of the bed, I can't sleep at night, I could keep going. The last week has been hell. I wish I could just sleep for the next few days and just recharge.

Ok I'm done. Sorry for the bitching.

So sorry

My Oma passed away last week from cancer too... I saw her about a month ago for the last time, and it was really hard to see how frail and weak she was.

Cancer does suck ass.

I lost my papa October 1999 to cancer and my uncle Jim 6 years ago this past Father's Day to cancer. Death alone sucks ass. I lost my Great Granddaddy 3 years ago this coming up February and I lost my Uncle Bobby Jack almost 2 months ago to West Nile Virus. It all sucks
