People like this generate a strong emotional reaction from me. It’s not fear, exactly. Certainly not personal fear. I am sickened by the views put forth by such people and terrified for my son. My pale, blond, gray-eyed son. Groups like this target kids like him. He’s only 8 now, but what happens

This is pathetic. This is even more pathetic than the guy who thought he could recruit me to a survivalist militia.

The way you combat ignorant gits is with knowlege. And making sure your son knows he can come to you.

Wait, survivalist militia? I don't remember this episode in the Life of Devorah...

*grin* I took a military history class in an attempt to impress my dad. And discovered that whatever it is that allows me to learn things without trying does not extend to military history. I worked my butt off in that class. The prof would find me sitting in the student lounge, taking careful notes from extra sources in order to understand his lectures. I asked him for suggestions for further reading. Luckily, my other classes were mostly gravy that term, and I coasted through A's in them.

So one of the guys in the class noticed that I always seemed to be doing extra reading on the topics covered, and caught the hint of twang in my voice, and decided that I'd make a great new member...

Afterwards, he avoided me a lot.

geesh, it smacks of some teenager making up a whole little "cult" thingy... *rolls eyes*

I am sure that your son will grow up just fine. I have faith in you, and in Ray too, that you'll be able to teach him what is best. By contrast, he'll have his father's views, and he will be able to see both alternatives, and hopefully make the smart choices.

*hugs*

Darlin, I wish this was a kid making up a cult, but it isn't. It's someone attempting to expand an existing cult. These are some pretty scary people.

It still appears to be pretty childish and rudamentary in how it is developed and made up.
I think your son is brighter than that to fall into something of that nature. All you can do is your best with him and give him positive examples of treating people well no matter who they are.
*HUGS*

Did you notice how many members that "group" had? ONE. Whoever wrote that pathetic hate-filled scrawl.

I know what you are worried about, though. There are hate groups out there like that, with more than one member. They listen to "music" like Prussian Blue. I don't know that they would attract Son, though. They see themselves as powerless to affect our PC tolerant world, and that's why they rant so loudly and with so much hate. Son sees himself as anything but powerless.

By being up front with him. By socializing him in a culturally diverse crowd. By having friends that treat him well that are culturally diverse. By reinforcing on him that you treat all people with respect regardless of their color.

You be the example. And be sure he gets to see it.

[mrw372435]

That's what I'm doing. Hopefully it works. And I have the Thor-Bound-One to at least set a good example of Asatru.

[raenshadoe]

*smiles* Sounds like you're set, then.

Is anything wrong between you and Ray?

That's really not the kind of question I respond to from anonymous commenters on my LJ. If you'd like to email me with a specific question, I'll try to answer it. My email is on my info page.

Looks like you're strongly on the path of glamor reporterism... ignoring the key issues to poke at personal issues that aren't any of your business. Way to go.

Should there be something wrong between her and Ray?
