Photo of Man With His Interracial Daughters Goes Viral, Disgusting Racists Pounce With Hate
by Sky Palma
Last October, prominent “daddy blogger” Doyin Richards took a few months off of his job to bond with his newborn.
During
his time-off, he snapped a photo of himself combing his three
year-old’s hair while his littlest rested comfortably in a BabyBjörn.
Richards then posted the photo to his blog, Daddy Doin’ Work, as a playful message to his wife who refused to believe that he could multitask while in charge of both kids.

“After
15 minutes of multitasking, the final result was a nice, tight ponytail
for big sister and a happily sleeping baby in the carrier. Mission
accomplished,” he wrote in the blog post. “I emailed the photo to her
with the caption 'Boom.' and we both got a good laugh out of it.”
It
was all in great fun. But when the photo was reposted to various sites
and ultimately went viral, some disgusting developments began to take
shape.
Racist
comments came pouring in -- some of them suggesting that Richards’
daughters couldn’t be his because their skin tone didn’t necessarily
match his (his wife is half white and half Japanese).
“I would bet anything that you're a deadbeat,” said one commenter.
“OK
buddy, cute picture. Now why don't you hand the children back to their
mom so you can go back to selling drugs or your bootleg rap CDs?” said
another.
“He probably rented those kids. They don't even look like him," said a third.
In light of the despicable reaction, Richards’ response was nothing less than a class act.

revolution of good fathers?” Doyin replied. “It's not a good look to
tear down dads for doing the work your wives wished you were man enough
to do on your own. If you don't believe me, just ask your spouses.
They'll tell you. But don't worry. I'll still be here whenever you're
ready to step your game up and join #TeamGrownAssMan.”[/box]
Good one, dad.
