"Hi, I'm Tegan, and I'd like you to help me pay for a 2-week vacation to Nicaragua. Not just anyone can go, you know. You have to be selected. I was selected! I could actually go to Nicaragua for two weeks for about $900 if I did a little shopping around, but I'll never know the difference if you'll just foot the bill for me. Thanks!"

But she admits that she hasn't gotten a job yet. That's her dad's fault too. Now, if the falling out with her parents happened exactly how and for the reason she says then that is pretty traumatic (although I don't know if everyone should suddenly pay for her college considering how many people have to put themselves through school who never had daddy paying in the first place). I have a hard time buying her exact version of the story though because teenagers are kind of like kickers."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Originally posted by Pelado View PostI wonder how much of it is BS and what her parents will say/do when they find out what their daughter is saying about them in public.Her father, Bill Dowdle, who owns a sporting goods store, told the Daily News that his daughter dating a black man may not be his “preference” because of “issues” involved with biracial dating in the South, but that it is not his place to pick who she dates now that she is 18.
The elder Dowdle said "it was never about race," that he is not a racist and that his daughter’s statements about race are “a justification and gave her the moral high ground.”
He said that he and his wife would accept whomever their daughter wanted to date, but that he disapproved of both Michael and a previous boyfriend in part because Allie had started seeing them in secret.
The father said that he decided to cut off her college money because she has been spoiled and “it became obvious that she needed to go out in the world and grow up.”
Who knows what really happened, but this comment on the Gofundme page quoted in the article rings truer to me than either story:
Sending a white girl from a middle-class family to college is not fighting racism. In fact, expecting to avoid work, student loans, etc. and be treated like a hero for dating a black guy seems pretty racist to me.
