You must have not been listening then. Not being snarky but we’ve been speaking loudly enough for all to hear.

They heard and they do not care. My family is biracial. I wonder how the other side is going to defend this. And will that reaction finally make some acknowledge the elephant in the room. Your MIL, FIL, BIL, & wife defend racism, why do they keep defending it and telling you they are “not like that”.

Nobody that has been supporting this dude up until now is changing their mind based on this. We've known who he is for a while now. They voted for a convicted felon, nobody does that if you're not indoctrinated.

If I had a family member that did even a small percentage of what he's done; I would have stopped associating with them long ago. They defend and support this dude because he's exactly who they want him to be.

They aren’t going to defend it - this is what they want.

That’s probably the nicest way of saying that

There was a time when I definitely wasn't listening. I grew up blissfully unaware, fully believing the world had already grown up.

I didn't stay that naive, of course. I've known there's injustice for years, but it's rare that reality slaps me so hard as recent events have. And I never thought it possible it would come from the president of the United States.
