Twitter is Flooded with Support for a Girl after Her Racist Father Sends Her an Awful Letter

Obviously pleasing the parent’s is an arduous and never-ending obstacle course. Most parents are dead sound though and just want their kids to be happy. Sadly one father in Texas doesn’t feel the same. Stephanie Hicks, from Keller, Texas has been receiving messages of support from all over the world after she posted a letter sent by her father to Twitter. And despite her father claiming to be a Christian, in the letter, he gives Stephanie an ultimatum stating there are three empty suitcases waiting for her belongings to be packed if she stays with her partner Nike. The letter reads: "While it may not be anti-biblical, I know I will never accept it, and I’ll never forgive you. My belief is that interracial relationships are despicable. Vulgar and reprehensible. "There’s nothing worse than a half-black, and I’m crushed that my own daughter has entered into such a disgusting relationship”. "This isn’t easy, but you haven’t made it easy. Over the last several years, you’ve turned on everything that we tried to in still from childhood You’re nowhere near the daughter I thought you would be at this point, and I’m deeply broken-hearted. "You treat both of us with contempt. You’ve been using us for money while disrespecting us in every way. You dress like a street walker, and you sulk when we take you to church. You have no respect for morals and have abandoned any sense of righteousness. "Yes, we had this discussion – sort of – a while back. At that time, I hoped I would eventually take the high road and come to accept an interracial relationship. "'The truth is that I’m human, and I make choices of my own. 'Mistakes can be forgiven, but you have willingly and consciously chosen a lifestyle of sickening choices, and I won’t tolerate it. "You have one final opportunity. Either end your relationship with Nike or face the consequences. "There are three suitcases emptied and waiting. If you choose this black kid over your parents, then fill them up and leave my house. "Take my information out of your phone, and DO NOT attempt to contact me again, the rest of your life. Change your name as soon as possible, because I won’t have any association with you. Ever." Jesus. According to the Mirror, Stephanie’s parents discovered the posting of the letter on Twitter and have forced her to deactivate her account. Messages of support from mixed race couples, directed at Stephanie and Nike have snowballed.
