"You are no role model to anyone. Race mixing is evil and against nature. You are not plus size — you are FAT and definitely not as attractive as you think you are. Big tits do not make a woman — a big heart does and yours is as small as your pea brain," the email began.

It continued, "There is a silver lining — interracial marriage has a very high divorce rate. So here's some advice. Dump some weight, including that brain dead n****r hubby of yours. Get a brain yourself and marry a good white man and have a dozen beautiful white children instead of any ugly kids with your m****y hubby."

She added, "No one who isn’t black is going to understand a black person’s life, but they don’t have to be ignorant toward what it’s like. I want to know as much as I can as a white woman who is going to be raising black children."
