At college my daughter fell in love with Obama. She went to a rally he had on her campus and she called me on the way back from the rally saying “Dad, he is the greatest. He wants to change America!!”
I asked her “Dear, you’ve had a very good life with an excellent education, you work hard, you earn your good grades, and you want to get ahead. What exactly is it that you think needs changing?”
Silence. Then “Gotta go, Dad. Talk to you later.” Click.
My sister has been a school teacher for almost 45 years. Her classes have always had a good minority population and the last ten years she has taught in inner city Baltimore. She doesn’t have a racist bone in her body. Her minority students love her and often, years later, come up to her and thank her for making them work hard to get ahead.
Our daughter called her a racist last October. My sister absolutely exploded in rage and let her have it. It was just wonderful to see. I blasted my daughter for talking to my sister that was as well.
It really hurts when that crap hits your own family.
“Appalling” doesn’t begin to cover it!
I just sent my daughter a YouTube with Tucker Carlson from tonight it was excellant and he was showing what is really going on with the protests.
I sent it to my daughter and asked her to watch it. Her and her husband adopted a beautiful baby girl 2 days old and she is african american so my daughter is worried about racism.
Anyway after she got my email she responded and asked me why I sent the link to her and that she went to a protest today because she is worried about racism against her now 5 yr old daughter. She wasn’t sure if she was going to look at my link. I explained why I sent it to her but I don’t know if she got what I was trying to say. I am very discouraged right now. I am also afraid of her going to these protests.
Wow, our family had the same situation. Today, my is home and we were talking about how, even though he was fence sitter, college was an impossible task to openly be a Christian or conservative, and how I called out one of his circles fring associates, at at graduation dinner on white gravelling and female/minority hiring preferences.... He has left all college friends now after seven years and three degrees .... My son thinks they are the racists.
