Dad tells daughter 'you're dead to me' for going to prom with black man

High school seniors Phillip Freeman and Anna Hayes, from Lake Village, Ark., attended their school prom last week.

Although the two good friends had a fantastic time, Anna’s father didn’t approve of her attending with a black student, and subsequently went on a racist tirade after seeing social media photos of the event. “We are done. I wont be coming to your graduation. Nor will I pay for your college. Go live with the n***ers,” he begins in a text message.

“I went to prom with a black guy so that’s a problem? Racist much,” Anna responded.

“Yes I am,” he admitted. “Your dead to me.”

[ProudLib72]

16. That is an excellent idea

And I hope she sets up a go fund me site.

3. Must be just a man with economic anxiety

[yardwork]

5. Zing.

6. +1000

[dalton99a]

7. He needs understanding

Cards and flowers are optional

[hatrack]

17. What's the best way we can reach out to him?

I'm thinking a cashier's check in five figures?

[JTFrog]

20. You win the internets today! nt

[JHan]

28. +++++++++++

[Coventina]

29. Hillary didn't do enough to reach out to him! n/t

[dalton99a]

4. A lily-white heaven awaits when he takes his dirt nap

[maryellen99]

8. Also in the article it states that the girl has a half sister on her mom's side who is biracial

[vi5]

9. Maybe he's worried about coal jobs?

Maybe we should all take the time to understand his anxiety rather than judging him?

[lunasun]

10. His heart is dead

[Turbineguy]

11. One of my Daughter's friends during her high school years.

was going out with a black boy friend.

My Daughter asked me not to tell (friend's Father) about it. Yeah, I understood. He watched Fox News.

[3catwoman3]

12. He is merely a...

...sperm donor, not a dad.

[Shrike47]

13. He'll pay for college if the divorce decree says he will.

Jerk.

[Lochloosa]

14. Don't count on the divorce.

The mother knew what she was getting.

[Cal Carpenter]

19. According to the article

"...Anna said that she and her father haven’t had much of a relationship since her early teens when she moved in with her mom. Her parents divorced when she was younger, and she remembers her father being “openly racist” around her when growing up. Anna’s half-sister on her mother’s side is biracial so she finds her father’s views incredibly painful..."

Perhaps something about the mother having had a child with a person of color is part of this asshole dad's problem?

[Demsrule86]

15. One of my daughters is gay she has a lovely girlfriend...my other daughter is seriously

dating a young Black man...very nice kid and drop dead handsome too.

[oasis]

18. "Deplorable" is an kind description of these assholes.

[smirkymonkey]

21. How dare he call himself a father.

He would put his racism above his own child. The racism is disgusting enough, but to treat your own child that way is just inhuman.

[sarisataka]

25. Just for you

[SaschaHM]

26. MIRT. Racist Scum on Aisle 9.

[Maeve]

32. More of a grease spot....

And a little and it's gone!!

[Squinch]

31. What makes you say the guy is a "predator?" The only thing you know about him is that he's black.

Hmmmmm.......

Do "politically correct bullies" try to beat you out of protecting your daughter from predators? That's so sad. All those "politically correct bullies" are just making it so hard for those dads who want to protect their daughters from predators. They probably don't even KNOW that the black guy is a predator. Which we know because we know nothing about him other than that he's a black guy.

Your world must be very difficult.

[bluedigger]

22. At least the high school didn't cancel the prom because of this.

That's Progress, right?

[sl8]

23. 50 years ago, we had such high hopes, didn't we?

50 years ago, I thought we'd be past this by now.

50 years ago:

[AllaN01Bear]

27. fuck you jerk.

[Squinch]

30. What?? How is this news? Of course it is horrifying that there are still racist assholes out there,

but it is a surprise to no one. So how is this news?

[tazkcmo]

33. For the same reason murder is news?

Or a fire? Or any other number of things that happen everyday in America? I personally think we should circulate stories like this far and wide as a Public Service to citizens so these racists can't hide. Maybe a 24 hour cable channel dedicated to callimg out and exposing these idiots...call it GOPee TeeVee?

[pnwmom]

35. How are football games news? Because some people -- not all -- find them interesting.

This story would be labeled "human interest" and I, personally, am much more interested than in the results of any football game.

[pnwmom]

34. He's evil. She should still apply to college though. The FISA forms only need

the custodial parent to sign, and that's her mom.

So she should probably qualify for a substantial amount of aid unless her mother makes a lot of money.

[struggle4progress]

36. He sounds like such a nice guy: I wonder why his marriage failed

[Warpy]

37. Racist and illiterate, why am I not surprised?

Parents divorced, Dad got custody, teenaged daughter moves back to Mom and her biracial younger sister. There are some serious family dynamics there.

I doubt anyone with as poor a grasp of English as he has was in much of a position to contribute to her education, anyway.

38. The comments in the yahoo article are sickening. Racism is getting worse and worse :( nt
