Dad Stops Daughter From Attending Friend’s Birthday Party Because The Celebrant Is Black

The birthday party of a 10-year-old girl was almost ruined after one of her best friends wrote to say she won’t be attending the party because her dad says she’s black.

The birthday girl, Harmony Jones, received a letter, written in pink, blue and green markers, which read: “Maby 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!’

Both girls attend Highland Oaks Elementary School in Memphis, Tennessee, and had hoped to be at Harmony’s birthday sleepover.

Harmony’s father, Christopher Jones wasn’t happy with the letter.

He said: “It angered me a little bit, it hurt me, the simple fact that my 10-year-old girl had to deal with this and I myself never thought I would even have to deal with this. I guess us as parents need to be more aware and conscious about what we teach our children.”
