I feel like it'd be a bit of an understatement to say my mom's a racist. [/quote]

She definitely has eyesight issues, too.  [/quote]

Maybe dementia?[/quote]

She has a HOST of issues. Denial is the biggest hurdle though. Because if she came right out and said, "Yeah I think all black people are thugs and are walking around with guns and can't be trusted not to kill us," then we could just dismiss her as a racist. But despite many, many examples of blatant racism she will insist she is not racist. Of course ask if she has any friends who are not white, and she will say "I had a long conversation with the man who came to do landscaping," and then she will reveal that she could barely communicate with him due to his thick Spanish accent. And she wonders why I talk to her less than once a month.  [/quote]

My mom is also an old-fashioned not-a-racist. She thinks that hiring a person of color, having a polite conversation, or admitting that people of color can be hardworking and pleasant, all make her not-a-racist. Of course, she's the one who, as you heard about on a previous thread like this, said "It's so nice to see a black man taking care of his children!" Loudly. In a public enclosed space. As I dragged her away in mortification, she protested "What? I said it was NICE!"[/quote]
