angry

i have told the boys before that they are racists but they say they aren't.

about a month ago 2 rottweilers, over a period of almost 2 hours, killed a homeless nicaraguan as he, along with 2 others, were trying to enter a private property in costa rica. it was caught on camera and showed police who stood watching.

this has escalated the tension between the 2 countries which is already running high due to the conflict along the border at the san juan river.

last night the boys told me they were getting another dog. i asked them why, they hadn't taken care of the last one they had. they forgot to water it, feed it, bathe it, brush it. i felt sorry for it. it was lousy with ants and fleas and the subsquent millions of bites from them.

they said they were getting a rottweiler to kill nicas. it was almost spoken in unison. i got angry. again i told them were racists. again they denied. they wanted to name it natividad, the victim of the rottweiler attack. i was happy to see that the puppy looks more like a teddy bear than a rotty. it was so filthy. the mom had been killed 5 days earlier and the pups had been without food.

we hadn't thought of a name for it last night. we had named the last one smeagle but patricio, the dad, kept calling it oso so i didn't figure we should name this one cuz he'd change it anyway.

this am dany told me they had decided on a name. canda - the last name of the victim.

how do you get through to people who make racists remarks then deny that they are? i find it hard to believe that they think they aren't. any racists i have known in the past have almost been glad to point out that they are.
