This is true.

At some point your kid has to know people hate. Figuring out when is the big question.

Just say that the girl doesn't like you because her father is a bad influence on her.

Well as long as your son isn't rude towards her perhaps in time she will learn that her father is full of lies.

I'm a cracker white; all my nephews are hybrids mixed; anytime anything like that has happened I tell them that it's easier to hate then anything else and that they should worry more about the important things in life.
Ummon:
Actually, you don't know why she was mean. And it doesn't matter. I suggest telling your boy that if someone's mean, then stay away from them. If they corner you, kick 'em down and keep 'em down. I also suggest, if another kid's parents can't keep reign of them (/teach them ignorance), for you to tell the kid to go and play by themself. If the father has a problem with that, the police can be very handy. If he doesn't like that and corners you, kick him down, and keep him down. (If it's a female parent, slightly different physical effort is required.)
