Have you ever looked at a racist person and went "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Have you ever wanted to know how they justify what they are doing and saying?
Well here is your chance.
I grew up being taught to be racist and it wasn't until I got away and started my own life that I realized how fucked up I was and how fucked up it was to be taught to be like that. Since 'seeing the light' I've been trying to some how even out all the hate I spread but I still feel guilty. I've been wanting to talk about it to people that aren't in the same boat as I am, get an outside perspective but also show people that even horrible people can change for the better. So if you want to ask anything you may and I will answer truthfully.
Notes:
My mother is not racist, everything was done either behind her back or she fought hard against it. Her only fault was marrying a man that was racist (but honestly she has been married twice and in a third decade-long relationship and every one of them was seriously messed up. Current one has severe PTSD and is a hoarder. I think her MO is getting with guys she thinks she can fix. To be fair she almost did fix my step dad he was -almost- a stand up guy in public.)
I was around 23/24 when I realized what was wrong. I'm going to be 29 this year so it hasn't been really all that long for me to be on this side.
I get called a hippy and liberal by friends and family now for my outspoken 'crazy' views on this, religion, and personal rights. They blame it on me living in Austin which is the only blue in a sea of red politics.
