Anna Hayes of Arkansas asked her friend, Phillip Freeman, to be her prom date. After a fun night, she went home and posted pictures of Freeman and herself on Facebook. She had no idea that this would cause her father to explode in her inbox.

Shortly after posting the pictures, her dad flipped out sending her several furious messages expressing his displeasure with her. Anna called her dad out for being a racist, which he readily admitted he was. Afterward, she just blew him off.

Her father was far from finished though. The things he said to her got progressively worse, to the point that he basically disowned her and said he would be canceling her phone and car insurance. This guy won't be winning any dad of the year awards that's for sure.

Anna was later interviewed by Buzzfeed and she had this to say. She didn't know that Phillip was going to share the texts with everyone when she showed them to him but she is glad that he did it. She said, “It’s important for people to see that racism is very much alive.”

Anna hasn't had much of a relationship with her dad since she was little. She lived with him for a years before moving in with her mom. Since she left, she hasn't had much of a relationship with him.

She said, “He has told me that if I ever dated a black guy that I will and would be dead to him. I stood my ground for what I believe in. He has called me several horrible things before.”

She said her mom was ‘horrified and felt terrible’ but ‘there is nothing she can do’.

After the texts went viral, Anna felt like she had to clear the air and answer some questions that people kept asking her. This is what she had to say:

Once she was finished explaining everything to everyone she left it at that. Hats off to her and Phillip for standing up in the face of racism. The world needs more people like these two young heroes.
