8-Year-Old Girl Has The Ultimate Response To An Irate Racist Man At KFC

Although social conditions are far from ideal, and racism is at the heart of almost every incident making the news, there will always be some kind of good gesture to help restore faith in humanity. And in this story, a special act of kindness comes from an 8-year-old girl named Autumn.

Autumn, and her mother Danee, were visiting a local KFC restaurant at the White Centre, in Washington DC when they overheard a man refusing to eat a meal prepared by the cook; the mother and daughter noticed that the employee working hard to complete the orders in the kitchen was a young, black man, and his skin color was, unfortunately, at the center of the problem. The little girl is quoted in the video testifying that the aggravated man clearly said, “I don’t want any black man touching my food so you have to recook it.” His comments obviously upset the employee but also affected Autumn who said that the racial comment was a “really sad thing to hear.”

Appalled by the incident, and the fact that such racism against black Americans continues to exist, the 8-year-old and her mother decided to take matters into their own hands. As per the report, Danee contacted friend Jana, an art teacher at a local school, and told her of the incident. The teacher’s class managed to create impressive, and touching, artwork and cards to give to the young KFC worker who was insulted at the hands of the white man; the children then got together to hand deliver the gifts and tell the man that he is special.

The employee was clearly touched by the gesture and the pool of support, and love, he received from these kind strangers; he could be seen wiping tears from his eyes as the women present him with the gifts they had collected.

Every community should be comprised of little citizens like Autumn and the other students who made the effort to help the black man feel loved. Unknowingly, they really nail the idea of racial prejudices being a negative aspect of every society—Jana’s daughter even mentions that the fact that behaviour like this even exists is outright “silly.”
