As I said before, these are my son’s friends. They own rifles, ride bulls, carry pocket knives, wear camo, hunt and fish. Most of their parents voted for Trump. We are pretty much the exact opposite. Despite our differences, they spend just as much time at my home as my son spends at theirs. Their friendship…

IT NEVER HURTS TO BE A LITTLE CAUTIOUS IN POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I ONE KID, OR ONE ALLIGATOR, OR ONE DEEP WATER HOLE, HAS A PROBLEM THEN IT GETS REAL BAD REAL QUICK. I’M WHITE, BUT I CANNOT ASSUME EVERYBODY THINKS IN WHAT I HOPE IS A PROPER WAY. I SINCERELY DOUBT ANY BLACK PARENT SHOULD ASSUME ONLY GOOD THINGS…

I’m glad i’m glad you live in a bubble where things like this don’t even cross your mind. Crazy racist crap jumps off around here on a regular basis so trust me the visual leap wasn’t that far.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t have to worry about the safety and activities of a child of color, or sticks their head in the sand after donning their rose colored glasses.
Also, it sounds like that as a parent he enlightened the kids without demeaning them, so yes GREAT parenting.

I know them better than you. I coached all of them since the were 7 years old. They can walk it off.

It amazes me.
