Would You Tolerate This

Yes she is a provider to. Its was one of her dcm but she informed me that she termed not because of the cartoon but the conversation about the cartoon when she brought it up.

Oh okay... gotcha.

I am glad your cousin termed then if the discussion got out of hand or became inappropriate.

Out of morbid curiosity I'm curious what went down when she brought it up

DCM said the cartoon was aimed at the other type of black people wrong thing to say. My cousin asked what other type of black people are there dcm said the ones that sit around getting welfare. My cousin informed her that just as many white people are on government assistance as black. Dcm replied saying she highly doubt that.

I live in America. Last time I checked people here do have a right to be racist. I don’t tolerate racism. I equally believe wrong, right, confused, misguided, ignorant, enlightened or flat out brilliant people have a right to their beliefs and opinions.

I was thinking the same thing. Regardless of my belief, other's have the right to believe what they want. I just choose to not be around them so much.

Not saying I tolerate racism. But everyone has the right to their own opinion.

It would depend. Just like people can't control your personal activities ouside work, you can't control theirs. HOWEVER, if the racism affects your daycare (i.e. you're Jewish and they hate Jewish people) I would term.

Sad. So sad.

You just can't cure ignorance

Honestly that is the very reason I avoid social media sites in connection to ANY one I have a working relationship with.

I have NO desire to know or comment on their humor, recipes and/or anything else they find amusing or funny.

I have had Facebook friend requests from 3 mothers since FB became popular. I totally ignored the requests. I didn't click "deny", because I'm not quite sure if they see that or not. I just went on as if I had never seen the request.

Only one mom asked me if I ever saw hers, and I said "Oh, I rarely EVER go on FB". (Total lie, I'm on it all the time!) The other two have never mentioned it.

I do NOT want to be FB friends with them. I don't want to know what they're doing on the weekends, I don't want to see something about Johnny having the sniffles and a fever, and then have Johnny show up here the next morning, I don't want to see that they stopped off for a pedicure at 3:00 then went home and had a cup of coffee before picking up Johnny from DC. Nor do I want them to see ANYTHING I post. Period.

And I don't want to hear gossip about them either. Many moons ago, I coincidentally watched the children of Mom 1, who used to date the current boyfriend of Mom 2. It happened purely by accident. The moms never saw each other at dropoff or pickup, and it took a few weeks before they figured out the situation. I, of course, never knew until Mom 1 said something about it. Anyway, from then on, Mom 1 would constantly gossip about Mom 2 - basically proving to herself that Mom 2 could NEVER be as good for this guy as she was! OMG, it was so much drama! This was probably 18 years ago, when I was pretty new at doing DC. I swore I'd never let myself get into a situation like that again, and I haven't.

My situation did not involve social media (since it pretty much didn't exist at the time) but my point is, social media can be the devil when it comes to a business relationship. Stay away!!

like this

Business wise, I’d ignore it & unfollow. I wouldn’t want my business to be connected to such foolishness.

On a personal note, I’d address it, unfollow and move on.

Exactly this. Except I probably wouldn't even mention it to her but just don't be associated with it.
