Make Daycare Great Again: Parents send racist letter to childcare center after they hire a too dark black woman
Employees at a daycare center in Pennsylvania came to work earlier this week to discover that theyd been sent a hateful anonymous letter, presumably from parents, directed at a black employee.
So most of us noticed you have a black girl working for the daycare, the anonymous letter read. Our problem is shes too dark most of the kids is scared of her. I am only telling you this because some of us are planning to pull our kid form the daycare shes an eye sore [sic].
The letter went on to recommend that if they must touch all of the nationalities, the daycare should maybe hire a light skinned black.
I hope you make her aware shes not wanted, the poorly-written letter continued. Im sending her a copy as well. However if she needs a job Mcdonalds [sic] is always hiring her kind.
P.S. Just trying TO MAKE YOUR DAYCARE GREAT AGAIN,' the letter concluded.
Fellow employees at the daycare posted images of the letter on Twitter. The letters veracity was verified by Snopes and by an article published in the local Morning Call newspaper.

(8,491 posts)is that racists and misogynists are becoming emboldened. While that is true to a large effect I think there is something else that may be happening that is a positive thing. I think more people are reporting and talking about people that are racist and misogynist. I think it is becoming more and more, whats a good word,,,,,deplorable in our polite society. Please don't confuse this with me thinking any of this is good, it is not. But is is heartening to see more good people stand up.

Trump supporters--of course:
The image tweeted by the employee identified as Lexi soon went viral, causing her to receive threats from Trump supporters that led her to hire a lawyer.
