She already asked them and they already said they will not accommodate that request.

I bet you, than once they are no longer alive, she will be running to the bank, to see how much money they left her......Let's call a spade a SPADE.......she knows what she is doing, and in these racists time that, unfortunately we find ourselves in, it is safer to be in the opposite side.....to get sympathy and camouflage her true feelings toward her parents......read her thread from the very beginning, SO you can get an idea of her feelings......how she call her parents "cantankerous, old people." She shows no respect whatsoever for her parents.....

If she really LOVES her parents, she will find someone that can take care of them, and pay them......since they have very-little-time left.......but obviously, she wants them dead......the sooner...the better.....
Oh Lordy you are back. Your posts illustrate your need to dramatize and create scenarios that don't exist. You should try writing a book to divert your energy into something positive.

She DID find someone to take care of them. It's not like they're allergic to melanin and if the agency sends a black caregiver it's going to send them into anaphylactic shock. They're elderly, not stupid - they can adjust to the times just like everyone else.

Wow, what a bulls**t post. Who are you to judge how much she has already done for her parents and how much she is able to do?? OP works full time, she has her own future to worry about as well. OP has done as much for her parents as she is able to do. Wow.

I'm talking about life in general regarding our comfort level and well-being. I'm tired of people who want to dictate that "you must like and tolerate all cultures, religions and lifestyles." Treat everybody fairly? Yes. Give everybody equal opportunity? Yes.

Personally, I wouldn't care about the race of my caregiver, I'd just expect them to be capable.

I've walked into a client's house and been told, Oh thank God you are not fat!! I kid you not. Clients will call my agency and say do not ever send that person back to my house, they abide by their wishes, weather it's their weight, race, clothing, hygiene, whatever, the agency abides by their wishes. They tell the worker, "it's not a good fit", when in reality it could be any of the above.

If you are committed to your racism then that’s what you should do.

Please don't quote me as if I was party to that. I was responding to the other poster who said he didn't want black people caring for him/her.

Ha. That sounds like something my dad would say. He is fixated on the obese, and harps on my mom constantly. One of the weekday caregivers is quite overweight (and a lovely sweet woman!) and when she met my dad the first time, he was being his usual ornery self...she said "trust me you will like me". He looked straight at her and said "I doubt it". My mom was mortified. It's just the way he is. (The caregiver just ignored him thankfully. )

I know what you were responding to, but I quoted you because I was responding to YOUR statement in response to them.
