A friend of a 10-year-old Harmony Jones wrote her a letter explaining that she wasn't going to be able to come to her birthday celebration because she is black.
According to The Root, Harmony Jones lives in Memphis, Tennessee and was excited for her 10th birthday party last week, which included a sleepover at her house. Harmony's parents were shocked to learn that one of her friends at Highland Oaks Elementary wouldn't be able to attend the festivities because she is black.
Harmony's classmate wrote her note in colorful markers explaining why she wouldn't be coming to her celebration.
"I will not be able to come to your birthday sleepover, because my dad will not let me go because you are black not trying to be races [sic], but my mom let me no [sic] Happy birthday!".
"It angered me a little bit, it hurts me that my 10-year-old girl had to deal with this, and I myself never thought I would have to deal with this," Harmony's father, Christopher Jones, told the news station 'WREG'.
Well, I guess parents should really be aware and conscious of what they teach their children.
