Racist grandparentsIt Came From Planet Aylia says: "My husband's mad Auntie Joan accused the man seven doors down of stealing her milk as he was the first black neighbour she had. She doesn't even get her milk delivered." Tell us about casual racism from oldies.
Thanks to Brayn Dedd who suggested this too

Sounds about right - I have often heard this phrase being used about me. Various family rumours allege a great - great - great grandmother who was black.
My thick lips and curly hair made me the subject of much bullying at school.
The "touch of the tarbrush" was mentioned several times between Mum and Dad. I have a photo of me aged around 2 and to be honest I look part Afro-Carribean.
Mum strongly denies this and ridicules me for suggesting I/we have black roots.
Nothing about grandparents here - sorry.

You are not your father's child.They are trying to build a web of lies to hide it from you. You've always suspected this, but have been loathe to confront it.
