[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a nephew that is so clueless about systemic  racism and I wish he understood how it does impact him.
He grew up in a whitewashed neighborhood. Mother is white and father was absent. His wife is white and basically all of his friends are white. 
He does have a sister but other than that no other POC near him. His aunt (my sister) who he is close to lives a state away. Anyways, for the longest time his MIL did not like him. He did not understand why. It came to light it was because of his race. Although biracial she saw him as a black man. They have a good relationship now but he was that clueless. I’ve recently moved into the area to be close to him. He was my buddy growing up but my career took me out of the country so I didn’t se him as often. I want to help him understand. But I’m not sure he gets it. I’m at a loss but I want to help him see he isn’t immune. *I know neither am I. Advice.

You have a lot of hate and resentment. Pls get therapy. You look at everything through the lens of racism, hatred and victim hood no matter what will happen to you, your friends or your family members.  
I do the same because I am Jewish and have holocaust survivors. It took a lot of therapy to get healthy. I thought everyone secretly hated me and plotted against me because of my race and religion, and be able to trust people of any color or religion. [/quote]
