'no' reply note/call which would have been awful enough. Hope the little girl had a wonderful celebration in spite of the ugly racism. I wonder if anyone sent her something special, after this article in the 'Grio' appeared. That is something I could contribute to, inconspicuously & if OK with the parents- to send good wishes, tell her how beautiful & loved she is. ANY IDEAS? I'd give anything to have a daughter like that, what a sweetie in the picture.

ETA: Update: Will try to contact 'The Grio' about this, a greeting for little Harmony Jones by email. (I don't have FB or TW).

Not extremely dissimilar, no. But bringing it into this thread seems a little odd. nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #15

Just horrible esp. for the b.day girl. The white mother may disagree but is following her husband. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #22

They're probably one of those "father knows best" kind of families. n/t nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #27

Indeed, head of the household bit, Mom's subservient to Dad. That was even a factor in the film, appalachiablue Mar 2015 #39

Sad stuff indeed. AverageJoe90 Mar 2015 #23

May sound odd, but the white girl might grow up liberal, from this event and life. It happens. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #34

It certainly does! =) nt AverageJoe90 Mar 2015 #45

my guess is mum thought she was just expressing birthday wishes Skittles Mar 2015 #49

Probably the case I realize after re-reading the note. So not the ogre parents doing. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #68

the girl spent some time on that note, using different colors Skittles Mar 2015 #69

Yep real rotten, sad. The note is colorful & special meaning she cared as a normal kid would. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #70

That is a good idea. She deserves an extra-special birthday after this. n/t nomorenomore08 Mar 2015 #53

I figured the parents were involved but maybe not after looking closer at the note. appalachiablue Mar 2015 #67
