    One profound difference: if the cops were called by some busybody, the white guy would be less likely to wind up dead!

    No, African-American nannies were very very common in the deep South. I'm not sure about now, though.

    When I was a young boy, my mother had an African-American cook/housemaid. I loved her dearly.Still have fond memories of her all these many decades later. She taught me how to drive which means she had infinite patience.

    You're saying that since the control freak government wants us to be narcs, therefore it's alright to be a narc.

    Yes. This was just as much sexism as racism. The narc wouldn't have reported a black woman babysitting white kids.

    (My generation called them narcs; the previous generation, stool pigeons. Your generation has been indoctrinated to treat lowlifes with dignity and call them informers.)

    Your error is to expect rational behavior.

    Some tattle-tails desire power, and get it by driving around looking for things to report. The crappy legal system depends upon this evil and creates it.

    I understand what a wet nurse is. I was joking about an alternate way that phrase could be interpreted.

    Note to archaeologists digging up these archives a thousand years from now:

    Yes, I am aware that I misspelled tattle-tales. No, do not put it into your dictionary of archaic languages as an alternative spelling.

    Heh.
    I did something similar to this woman last week.
    While out at activity time, I had to go get a ball in the street. As the kids are not allowed to do so.

    After I got the ball I noticed a little girl(3 or 4 years old) walking on the sidewalk with a van following a long side the girl.
    The van had it's flashers on and door open. I didn't notice the driver,(I was watching the little girl) only that it looks super suspicious.
    After I asked another adult what they thought of this scene. They said 'looks suspicious'.
    So I jogged the two blocks to catch up with said van.
    After I got a block away the van stopped. I asked the driver(white male) if everything was okay.
    He told me. 'Yeah she just wanted to walk home. That she goes to the pre-school back there.'
    I said. okay, just looks weird. Sorry for interrupting you.
    He replied with no problem and I walked away.

    Figured if he was actually doing something he shouldn't. He would've took off soon as he realized I was coming up behind him.
    Though know several parents of pre-schoolers who would never allow their pre-schooler to walk home.
    One of them said to me when I told them this story.
    'That's crazy, I can't even trust my daughter to not run off when I'm walking next to her. Let alone if I was driving next to her.'

    Now I think this lady is whack being that her reasoning for suspicion was two white kids with a black male.
    To me that's not a good faith report even if shes a MR.

    If he had his flashers on, he was trying to draw attention to himself, the opposite of being sneaky. That should have told you to mind your own business.

    Almost all baby thefts are done by women.

    I thought I was the only person in the world who still uses the term "M.R." The Word Police will gitcha if they find out what it means.

    I wonder if perhaps you have a different meaning for those initials, because I can't imagine why anyone would take issue with the term "mandatory reporter".

    Stool pidgeons is a term from the 30s. I doubt if anyone in here was even born then.

    First off you're a meme account I have you on ignore. Therefore I shouldn't give you the time of day.
    However being that you don't know any better I will explain why you're wrong.


    Disagree about 'minding my own business' simply because flashers were on.
    This is complete bunk and could get me with legal repercussions if I did so.

    Your second point about women is completely off topic. And no point in a reply to me.
    Why? because It wasn't a baby, I clearly said it was a 3-4 year old.

    If @PtldPlatypus could figure out what MR meant in this situation.
    Why couldn't someone who pretends to post intelligently figure it out yourself?
    Every class(yes it's a class, not an online test) I've took for the past many years has abbreviated mandatory reporter at least once with MR.

    But then again you're a meme account and just like the other meme/roleplay account on this forum need to go away.

    I don't know whether to like your post or give it negative criticism.
    I'm officially elderly and quite learned yet I had no idea what MR refers to unless it somehow meant a 'Mr.' reference. Now I know it's Mandatory Reporter. Also, I do not know what you mean by a meme account but I'm going to look it up now and hopefully I'm not a meme account 'casue it sounds like something bad.
    Just looked it up. Whew, I'm home free.

    Didn't mean to come across overly critical so I'll apologize if I came across that way.

    Keep up the good work. Definitely don't want to get on your bad side.
