Raising a Redhead: The Definitive Guide?

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 02:13:43 +0000

Is it really a big deal to raising a redhead? Apparently there is a whole website dedicated to the proper steps that a parent needs to take in order to bring up a red head without with them turning into some sort of… i don’t know, ginger vampire? Raising Redheads is a parenting magazine that:

Raising-Redheads.com is a parenting magazine dedicated to redheads and their families.

Ill give it a nod for being a very informative website about redheads (although not as informative as us of course) such as tour genetics and how prevalent we are in the world. But what really grinds my gears is just that it seems to try and set us apart from everyone else. Its like saying you there are special steps that you need to take in raising an asian or black child. A little red hair doesnt require a different battle plan with a child. Maybe they will get teased when they are growing up, but thats not something that any other child has to deal with when growing up.

Not that i dont doubt the authors sincerity about loving redheads (she is one herself), all i am saying is that it is this type of website that just continues to perpetuate the belief that gingers not the same as everyone else. When will the world see that gingers deserve to be treated just like everyone else!

Forced to Move

A family are being forced out of their home by a gang of thugs because of their red hair.

Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four young children have been forced to move three times to avoid the taunts against their red hair children. Beyond the verbal torment they have had their windows smashed, their walls covered in graffiti and physical assaults by other youths in the city.

Revently the Chapman family returned to their third home in Newcastle in the Uniked Kingdom to find the words “ginger is gay” painted ouside of their property. The last move was even done in conjunction with social workers, but the abuse has not ceased. They are now waiting on their city council to find them yet ANOTHER home.

A single ginger voice

Over the last few months there has been an increase in the number of attacks on gingers around the world. The media may have us believe that this is due to the south park episode “ginger kids“.

Rather this has been an ongoing struggle that im sure all gingers have experienced at some point in their lives. There was a group on facebook inciting people to “kick a ginger” on november 20th, 2009. The 14 year old administrator claimed the group to be a joke, however it grew to have over 20,000 official members.

Gingers! We must unite against this opression. They only try and knock us down a rung so that we are unable to be the leaders we are ment to be!
