Rascism

So today I know I was just resting in my room because we had been gone all day until like 3pm. And so I know that my mom went to go pray and was going to come back because she had an appointment for a massage. So I remember hearing the door bell and I knew someone opened the door but I had no idea who. I was to exhausted to go to the living room. Well anyways the people who came for my mom had mom ...

Right now on  the way home my mom was telling me about the people who came. Well Apparently Danny was the one who opened the door. When my mom went to the door she just saw the people standing on the door. And she asked him, well they just opened the door and left? And they said no, they said that  the baby opened the door. And then thhey said that when Danny opened the door they were confused because a little "mayetito" (which is a bad slag for little black kids) opened the door.  Then they proceeded to ask my mom if he was black and my mom said no. Then they asked if the father was black and she said that he was actually Mexican/hispanic. 

Well I know my son always gets confused... people call him "Mulato" which means a mixture of a mexican and black descent... People ask if he is PuertoRican and I say no... they ask me everything and well he is nothing. Well I mean I mean he could be of that descent from way back because there were a lot of slave taken to Mexico and with a lot of mixtures it dies down but the other background as far as I am concerned is from Nicaragua but no they actually have light skined tone becauase that part is from German descent hence the Schmidt last name.

Anyways, back to the other story. When my mom was telling me about what the people said... I felt sad. 2 tears rolled down my cheeks... I couldn't believe that people would ever call my son that racial slur. And in another way it sort of put things into prospective because as much as the world is less and less pure there are more negative people out there. And now it's going to be my son dealing with racism in one form or another. I guess that is just life. But, you can say it's one of the first and maybe not the last time it will happen. But, we will make this work and keep on moving forward. 

I still feel a little sad but there is nothing I can do about it...
