You pretty much said the response I had typed and deleted multiple times since last night. Maybe people are just wary of getting into another race debate but I think had it been anyone other than Ms. Teal's daughter (so I guess that means we can vouch for her?) the discussion would not have gone the way it did. People wouldn't have been so upset that it was posted here.
I too, don't think she's racist and I'm happy that Ms. Teal addressed it head on and admitted it was in poor taste and a mistake. But even before she responded people were clucking their tongues over the picture being mentioned here.
As someone who has personally disagreed with Ms Teal over race before, over a poster saying that "no colored girls" wore a particular gyms uniform, I can say that my "brushing" off of the post comes from the fact that I recognize that it was brought over to the FB without good intentions and because I've seen pictures come from this team with this type of separation for several years now. I genuinely don't care who Ms. Teal is within the fierceboard community, it could have been Jim Bob's kid for all it concerns to me. A double standard is a double standard.
