What is wrong with people? The sane thing to do would have been if the 2white women went over and told the kids to have a good time. And it seems like there were adults there so why not act like a grown up.
Something not nearly as dangerous happened to my family. My parents were living at a condo in a resort area and my son in law who is black was visiting with my daughter and grandson. They were at the pool as guests of my parents. My old frail dad heard some comments and racial slurs and jumped up ready to fight, my son in law had to calm him down. I think that was a real slap of reality for my dad who did not think these things still occurred but comments were made in front of his great grandson. My dad raised hell at the condo meetings afterwards.
