Maybe, sweetheart, you look scary. 18 month-old babies are not really cognizant. Or maybe the baby is picking up on your racist-ugly vibe. Or maybe YOU are projecting your ugliness on this little baby. tsk tsk
He looked at you like a monster who thought you were about to devour him, Vanessa.
It's called primal instinct. It's all babies know, bone brain.
Really smart child? I wouldn’t have been aware enough to be scared of her until I was much older.
years ago, my husband and i had a friend, a very large, tall black man... he came to our home and our new Border Collie puppy Spencer started barking at him and backing up at the same time... it was so funny... honestly, we did fell kind of self-conscious about it...
a few years ago we were showing our sons Star Trek: The Next Generation... there was a scene where Worf was doing Mok’bara, and our Beagle Truman started howling at the television... that was funny... :)
These people are truly obsessed, or did I mean to say possessed?
Another asinine statement by a Democrat that the MSM will ignore.
I’m over 60, and she scares me.
I don’t have any kids but love interacting with kids and the one thing I have noticed is that 18 months most healthy kids are shy around strangers they have not been introduced to. it is healthy for a child that has not much experience to be wary of an unknown adult.
I’d be scared of her too!
Perfect response:
Oh, no. He’s not racist — I have a white friend who’s fat and ugly; he’s scared of her too.
Another person who excuses her failings by blaming Whitey.
Well, studies have been done showing babies photos and attractive and unattractive people. The babies tended to look at and smile at the photos of attractive people and avoid the others. Maybe Vannessa doesn’t present such an attractive persona.
My dog must be a racist too, because I’m pretty sure he’d growl at her.
My little yorkipoo-dog is more wary of male strangers than female strangers - I think it is because their voices are lower pitched. Yet, within a few minutes she is all over their legs trying to get attention and some petting from them.
Kids generally react very shyly when a new person enters their space. Why on earth would this person jump to such conclusions about a toddler?
Gotta love this comment from the site: Silly politician — lots of kids are afraid of clowns.
:)
The kid was scared of you ‘cause you’re a fugly silver back looking Lee sista. Home Lee or Ugh Lee.
The kid is scared of ugly tattoos, especially on women...Me too
Probably the kid was afraid of her glasses or something else other than skin tone. The woman is an outdoor to assume it was her color. imagining racism under every rock.
In the course of my job over many years, I used to go in homes in South Central LA, oh, wait, we must call it “South Los Angeles” these days. I am white, and many little kids who were black were very wary of me at first, as I looked different than the folks they were used to seeing. Most warmed up very soon, and I made an effort to not frighten them in any way. I suspect this lady puts out negative vibes to the kids she’s talking about, and the kids know it. She is likely expecting, and looking for, racism at every turn.
