Letter to Deannia…
Deannia,
I have been trying not to let this bother me and not say anything, but I’ve got to get this out. I hope what I am about to say doesn’t ruin our friendship. You know I love you like a sister, and I love your kids like they were my own. I am not trying to disrespect you or tell you how to raise them but I’ve got to speak my mind. It will eat at me if I dont.
As a Christian and a biracial person, yesterday’s issue really hurt me. I know you were hesitant to tell me, but I am glad you did because as a friend I dont want any secrets between us. I know it was mainly Thomas’s Issue and it would tear your family apart. I dont want to see that happen. But at the same time discrimination of any kind of wrong. I know you know that. I know you are not racist and you dont hate other racest. Or else we wouldnt be friends in the first place. But at the same time you’re going along with a form of racism. Racism is not just a hate for another race. It is discrimination against it too. Do you really want your kids thinking that races are okay as long as you dont bring them into your family? What if someone’s family treated me, your best friend, that way? Would it be okay for them to not accept me? I know you know God does not want any of us (His children) thinking that way. You said you dont agree with it. So me being a biracial person, was it wrong of my parents to get together and have me? I know it is nothing personal against me. I know that you, your kids, and your mom has 100% accepted me. I love and appreciate you all for that. I definitely dont want to see anything happen to your family.
No matter if Brit decides to date outside of her race or not, it is still going to affect her. Because it is either hindering her or making her choose between her family or enjoying her childhood. And it is going to affect the other girls as well as they grow up. I just want to see everyone happy and doing the right thing. I know I may be way out of line for speaking my mind but I wouldnt be me if I didnt. And you love me, right? 
Anyway, the last thing I want to say is normally I dont put up with any form of racism or discrimination period. But I can and am swallowing my pride for our friendship and the girls. If it were anyone else I would cut all ties. But I’m not because I genuinely love you all. Thats why I had to at the very least speak my mind and keep no secrets from you.
If you choose to end our friendship over this, I understand but I am praying it wont come down to that. You are like a sister to me, and I will always be here for you and the kids.
Love,
Mone
