Well this one could just run and run
and what have we all learned from this?
Black, white, fat, thin, tall or short we all have something in common,
How insecure we all are:sad:
Think about this one;
I was born in 1963, in London.
In 1968 my mother took me to the corner shop and as we got close, the man who I knew as uncle Tom, who used to give me a lolly pop every week because he thought I was a little sweet heart, was screaming at a young woman with a little boy a couple of years younger than me.
He told her she was a dirty whore, told her he wouldn't have that thing in his shop. She was obviously upset but she didn't leave.
She took her mixed race child out of the shop, told him to be good and stand still, then went back inside and did her shopping.
Yes that's right, that thing, was a child of two or three, with big brown eyes and skin the colour of creamy coffee with a mop of light brown curly hair.
She was in 1968 expected to put up with that and she did.
Does it really matter if someone calls you skinny? I have to say, just once in my life I would love for someone to say, Susie, the skinny one
Rather than The chubby one, and trust me, they are being polite.
That's such a small thing when compared to being called a whore because the colour of your skin is not the same as the father of your child.
It's nothing compared to having your child called 'that thing' and being told he can't come into a shop because he's not white.
All I'm asking here is that you please stop and think, did the person who posted say a word because they wanted to hurt you?
If they did then you have the right to take them to task for it and I'll help you do it.
But if there was no malice behind the posters words then please, let it go.
Words are only ugly if we say they are.
How does S2 put it?
