[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who grew up in the south, I had multiple incredibly racist relatives. I also had some relatives who were very forward thinking. For example, one married a Cherokee woman and another married an Eskimo (I don't know if it's kosher to say that rn but that is how they described her). Some relatives would be like "don't know what he saw in her, her face is so flat and small eyes!" Don't get me started on comments about black people. But, they were always nice to me. They loved me and were good family members. I benefited from being in their presence. When they said racist stuff, I knew they were idiots in that regard - ignorant, uneducated, and backward. People are complex. What is harmful about being around a family member with a stupid view (unless it puts you in direct danger)? If anything it's a learning experience and a foil of how not to behave[/quote]
People like you make me sick. That racist stuff that didn’t affect you it affected me it affects my kids affects my husband it affects my parents and my cousins affects my friends people like you are so ignorant like oh it’s not a big deal. ITS A BIG EFFFINGGGGG DEAL.
It affects people emotions, their hearts,Racist don’t just exist in a vacuum the racism affects employment , it affects systems and politics,  it affects relationships. 
When you see people spew poison you don’t just ignore it because they did not spit on you!!![/quote]
