I am a person of colour myself. Through age and experience I had become pretty hardened to racist remarks. They hurt, they really do but I don’t give any reaction, I’m more of a bottle it up and cry in my own time kind of person.
That was until I became a mum.
I have 4 children that are mixed race.
I’m much less resilient now because of them. My heart breaks that racism still exists and that my children will experience it.
The racist tweets are disgusting. They may have been posted years ago, but I believe those thoughts and that way of thinking never leaves a person.
Honestly if my children were ever in school with Saint, I wouldn’t feel comfortable sending them to his home for tea or birthday parties through fear of what might be whispered around them.
These comments are vile and I seriously hope the mud sticks and the don’t worm their way out of this one.
