Quote From: spinner34I think that mother who said her beautiful daughter wasn't being black enough is being racist, even though Dr. Phil said she wasn't. Had those parents have been white and saying she wasn't acting white enough then that would have been racist thinking. I don't understand why she can't be proud of being white as well as being proud of being black. especially since the mother obviously has relations with a white man. (I'm assuming, I missed the last few minutes of the show) I agree that African Americans should have Black Pride, but by the same token, Caucasian Pride is frowned upon and considered racist. I'm just confused by the double standard. I respect people. All people, and I teach my children that way. Skin color is not an issue with my family. Good people come in all colors, shapes and sizes. Just love one another.
I agree that the mother was being racist. I have seen this time and time again over the last four years working with mainly blacks. I never had a racist bone in my body and was not raised that way (i am almost 50 and a white female), but after having worked closely with blacks over this last four years I can spot the reverse discrimination a mile away. Yes the mom is being racist.
Get a group of black males and females on the show and just ask them how they treat a white person of any sex when they are in a group. Not when there is just one, but when the balance becomes more blacks than whites in an office environment. One will be shocked!
The mom on this show just did not want to be label racist.
