My kids still ask why they can’t talk to their grandparents and I tell them “well, it’s because they couldn’t stop being racist even in front of you”

Seriously fuck this entire train of thought https://twitter.com/katyperry/status/1325534297294471168
Family first is how this shit passes on generationally

My family isn’t more important than antiracism and it’s their bad luck they don’t understand that

But I’ll be damned if I let them get to the next generation to be polite or kind

My kids will grow healthy, thanks
Imagine thinking good parenting was teaching kids to just deal with racist grandma

NO WE JUST DON’T FUCK WITH THOSE PEOPLE

And if they rise to the level of Nazis you bet we punch them
Like I’m sorry I’m meant to be teaching my children that we don’t discriminate by heritage and also somehow I’m supposed to teach them about shared blood demanding respect

Nope. Nope.

I’m teaching critical thinking over here.
Just the sorriest of white lady lack of confrontation the single time confrontation is necessary

Do not expose your children to uncle Larry who flies a trump flag

Fuck your traditions, the traditions and the politeness is how this shit passes on

But we can stop it, with us now
Imagine thinking grandma was so powerful you couldn’t tell her she was a racist shit and your kids won’t be around unless she at least agrees to keep her outdated opinions to herself

Imagine as a parent being like “okay quiet racism is fine she’ll die soon”
The fuck are you teaching your kids

Cause I’ll say mine are learning that it sucks when your relatives are dicks but that ain’t mean you have to entertain them
