All of my uncles and my aunt who grew up around my grandmother are all shitty racists. I was close to one of them and finally confronted him on it. I talked about the history of words and what they can do to someone. Told him I didn't believe in racism. He later explained it
When I was 11 I casually mentioned to my favorite uncle that we didn't get Columbus day off anymore and he launched into a long, loud, very public rant that ended with a defense of slavery: this is how my favorite uncle became my least favorite uncle anyway fuck this guyhttps://twitter.com/CBS6/status/1270526933772709888 …
