| Anyone else have a parent that just says the most awful stuff? I figure it's a bit of upbringing, age, mild dementia, and I don't know what. She knows I don't want to hear her crap, but lacks a filter these days. Ugh. |
| Mil and Fil are and always have been. Hate ethnic groups of all kind, the entire LBGTQ community, liberals, disabled, etc. Not an age thing, it has been this way for their whole lives. Open and vocal - at all family events. Oh, and they drink heavily, too! |
| It's better to say it in public rather than act open minded and inclusive of all, but be bigot and white supremacist in the inside. |
Huh? |
| All my family is more or less racist. They were brought up in the most narrow-minded and prejudiced household. My mother has been flexible enough to change her conscious worldview, even though the remaining knee-jerk reflexes will never disappear, but one of my aunts says the most awful things, which my cousin, her daughter, tries to shut down as soon as they come out of her mouth. It depends on the personality, OP. Some people never learn. My only satisfaction is that none of the new generation, ie, my cousins and I, are racist. We grew up in a different era, and it makes a difference. |
| It would not take me 10 minutes of conversing with you before I could find a racist comment that you will make , so quit whining about the parents that loved and sacrificed for you and find something nice to say about them. |
Naah, pretty sure these people have learned from their parents'mistakes...and they may love them, however embarrassed they are. Something you would like to admit here? |
uhh... no, being a racist inside is not worse than being a racist outside. |
What a piece of trash. You're mom has mild dementia, and you are here to publicly hold her accountable for venting a lifetimes frustrations? Goid grief, give it a rst OP. Show some maturity. |
Actually, it's not. The world would be a much better place if racists pretended to be decent people in public. |
Maybe you should start. No-one is holding her publicly accountable for anything, I guess you don't fully understand how DCUM works. People vent about random stuff on here all the time...A racist parent is right up there with the rest of them. |
What? Who are you talking to? |
|
Seems at least one troll has found his way on this thread.

| I would not let my kids spend time with my parents if they were hateful racists. |
Racism is taught in the home by the parents. If your parents are like this and you don't make a concerted effort not to be, you probably got a little of it in you. Get cut off in traffic all of a sudden and you see the race of the person, wonder what words fly through your head. You may not say it but you might think it and that does matter |
