One of the hardest things I ever had to do was at a family gathering at Christmas.
The whole family was playing the Telephone game. The game where someone whispers something in your ear and then you whisper it into someone elses' ear, etc. Object being, how perverted the original statement has become.
My parents, 2 brothers and their wives, Me and my husband, and 6 children ranging in age from about 9-17 were present.
The older grandchildren proceeded to take every turn of theirs and integrate a racist remark. Uncomfortable as it became, NO ONE stopped it. My children were like deer in the head lights...they did not know how to respond. (They were the youngest)
I did....and threatened to leave.
I learned alot that night. About my family and myself.
