what is a good come-back for a racist?

I was at a local restarant last night with my daughter, who is mature but inocent for her age "22". She mentioned a black guy asked her out. This is okay by me, my family is mixed, although, my daughter and i appear white. That's when an older man leaned over to our table and made a VERY racist remark!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was angry, shocked, and gave one word answers until he left us alone. i'm still P.O.!

what as Christian should i have done?



(i'm trying to forgive him)

Someone like that is just looking for a fight, so responding negatively won't do any good nor would I think it be the right thing to do. Logic also won't really work with someone like this. Maybe with a smile say something like "sir this was a private converstation, so please have a nice day" and then ignore him. Or ask him why he is so angry, but in a sincere and loving way. Whatever the response, I do think that doing so in a polite and loving way is the answer. He is wanting to irritate you, don't give him that, respond with love as hard as that might be when you are understandably angry.

I probably would of replied to him :

"You know, I'm just happy she is considering going out with a guy, I think it is better than the lesbian she has been going out with."

Two, would you believe that I know so-called Christians who would be FAR less bothered by a lesbian couple than they would be by a while girl going out with a black guy. It's true, and it's wrong.

it's best not to say anything when people are being ignorant.

we represent God and need to be cautious



but something like "I raised my daughter not to look at color/race, to look at the heart because that is what counts and that is how Jesus sees us"

Or...

"All my grandbabies are solid colored whites, I was really hoping for a black and white paint this time."
