Racist letter sent to day care center

This is awful. And quite honestly seems too horrible to be true. I'm actually pretty skeptical and am thinking the letter wasn't written by a racist parent at all, but by someone who doesn't like that girl. Ex boyfriends maybe... or a friend whom she's had a falling out with, co worker who doesn't like her, etc. Either that, or someone just playing an extremely cruel joke and being a poe to make some kind of point. Honestly either one of those 2 scenarios would be better than if the letter was actually genuine.
Thoughts? Do yall think this was really sent by a racist parent?
Quote:Whitehall police are investigating a racially charged letter sent to a township day care center where shaken staff members have been taking extra security precautions since early this week.
Dominique McKelley, owner of Bridge 2 Creative Learning Center in Whitehall, said an envelope addressed to her arrived Tuesday with no return address.
Inside were two identical letters — one addressed to her and another to one of her workers — urging the center to fire one of its black workers because of her dark skin color. The letter was posted on social media by staff who condemned its content, and has since gone viral.

Here is the letter itself: https://twitter.com/probablylexi/status/...4975880199
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Do we know the person penning the letter is not Mormon ?
Alma 3:6 “the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark that was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression.”
Not wanting to be around people with transgressions otta be understandable, even outside of the Mormon orbit . . . .

LOL, just noticed the lightning rod on Moroni there. 210 feet above street level in Salt Lake City lightning might be a problem. Wouldn't do for the Mormon Temple to burn down from a lightning strike, might put funny ideas in the heads of the brethren, elders, and cistern.

That's not a lightning rod, it is well known that Moroni had his skull replaced with a Pikelhaube.

Considering some of the racist BS in the BoM, it makes sense.

It looks like a prank.
The wording is ridiculous. Saying kids are scared of her because she's too dark so we need to get a light skinned girl in, mcdonalds is hiring and so on.
Also the font, it looks like a font Willy Wonka would choose.
Not that it means a parent didn't send it, but it seems to an obvious trolling letter that anyone could have sent.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. And i agree about the font as well. It's like the person who wrote it wanted to make the font look like something a snobby white housewife would use....

Since when do racists not use ridiculous wording and fonts? Just because it’s stupid doesn’t mean it’s not legitimately made by a racist parent. There are a ton of racist and stupid people out there that made babies and use daycare services.
I don’t know if it’s really a parent’s doing, but I don’t dismiss the possibility. That’s what our country is harvesting right now.

Well I said it looks like the font Willy Wonka would use. I think a genuine letter from a woman who happened to be a white, housewife, parent would just have standard font.
