Same here. My friend was also a music teacher, and her daughter had a group of white girls she was friends with from K-6th grade. When they got in 7th grade, the other black started giving this child a really hard time, to the point that to be accepted into their group she had to physically fight some of the white girls she had been friends with- which she did. She told one girl she jumped in a locker room (one whose home she had slept in) that she had to "stick to her kind".

It's a shame that she was willing to sell out long term friendships for a group of thugs.

Did the parents deal with it in any way?

And they wonder why white parents send their kids to public schools that are 90% white (at least where I come from) with the other 10% being Korean, Indian, etc.

Don't know about where you live, but here in the NY-area (outside of the city) white folks avoid black folks like the plague for situations such as those described.
