This is the society we live in these days, where SJW's find 'racism' everywhere.

I thought the gift was very sweet (with real monetary value), and the grandson another wanna be viral SJW.

A grandmother has sparked debate and discussion online after giving her grandson's Black wife a lavish Christmas present accompanied by a controversial note.

In a post titled "Xmas present from my very Karen grandma to my African American wife," a Reddit user posting under the handle The_Alchemyst shared a picture of the luxurious gift given to his partner this year.

It shows a set of black pearls resting inside a black leather box......

However, the source of contention for the original poster wasn't so much his grandma's generosity, but rather the handwritten note she included alongside the gift.

"Like my black pearls - rare and of great value!" it reads. "You are the black pearls of the family. Love you, Karen."

Is her grandson afraid his wife will find out she’s black?

I don’t see anything more there than a lovely sentiment and gesture.

That’s very sweet. She obviously loves her granddaughter-in-law. Newsweek must be running low on stories though…

Very thoughtful gift from one generation to another. The note is poetic and welcoming. The younger generation is incapable of understanding poetry because their souls are filled with bile. Perhaps the note should read: “Don’t pawn these for casino money — Love Granny.”

Sounds like a liberal grandmother if you ask me. Most liberal white people fall all over black people to try to come off as accepting and not racist, when in reality they are deep down inside quite uncomfortable about people different from them.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. You can't win. Ignore the elephant in the room and you are in denial = racist. Tackle it head on = racist. You can't win.

Social media sucks. Once upon a time, this would be a non-issue because it wouldn't go far beyond the immediate family one way or another. Now, everything becomes a big deal because it is posted on Social media. What a disaster Social media is. What a horror.

Yep. Remember that NY Times writer that was upset about white people visiting her free library post on her property? She has taken the following positions:

White people moving out of a neighborhood with blacks = racist white flight.

White people moving into a neighborhood with blacks = racist gentrification.
