Take heed from Venus and Serena’s father
don’t let anyone sow seeds of doubt in your kids. Dude was trying to snatch Venus’ confidence, and her dad was like, “Nah, bruh. Not today.”

This is so beautiful.

So. This made me cry.

I AM SO BLOODY FURIOUS:

Three-year-old Aboriginal girl left in tears after she is racially abused by a grown woman for wearing her favourite Frozen costume

  • Samara Muir, 3, had dressed up as Queen Elsa from Disney film Frozen
  • The little girl wore the outfit to a Disney event in Melbourne
  • She was racially abused by a mother and her two daughters
  • ‘Black is ugly’ the three-year-old was told by one of the other girls
  • Samara was so upset she would not go to her Aboriginal dance class
  • When her mother asked why she replied: ‘It’s because I’m black’

Wow, what the fuck? I’d like to find that racist “mother” and punch her..

Someone ask Georgina Haig to record a message for this girl.

Idina, too, but George comes to mind since she’s Australian.

(So dead serious.)

Poor baby

“I told her ‘because God gave you that skin colour, because you’re a proud blackfella like mum’.”

Since speaking to the media, Samara and Rachel have received hundreds of messages of support online. Samara has been invited to perform in the Disney on Ice Dare to Dream show and indigenous rapper Adam Briggs has invited her to star in his new music video — she will play a young Cathy Freeman.

“We are very overwhelmed and shocked by the kindness of people. I didn’t think people would care so much,” Ms Muir told The Courier.

“I can’t express how much it has meant to us. I just thought it would be a story people would click past and forget. To know that she has touched so many people 
 that they see her how I see her, is just incredible.”

Ms Muir said she reads all the messages to her daughter.

“After every message Samara smiles and says ‘thankyou your majesty’,” Ms Muir said.

“She is back to her proud, beautiful Aboriginal self.”

There are a lot of posts here saying “Allow your kids to be different!” and that’s important. But the other way around, it’s important, too: Never force your kids to be different. 

I used to work in a kindergarten and there was one little 4-year-old boy who walked in with a blue mohawk one day. His mom dyed her hair blue, too and she was very proud of her son and herself for being “special” and not like the others. The other kids thought it was really cool and funny, nobody laughed at him. However, as soon as his mom left he started crying. When i tried to comfort him, he told me he doesn’t like it when people touch his hair and now everybody wants to touch his hair. When asked if he told his mom, he just looked up at me and said  "She didn’t listen.“

So, long story short: Don’t raise your child “different”. Raise them individually. Listen. Care. Find out who your child is and who they want to be. And if they want blue hair, that’s cool. But if not, please respect it.
