11. White people need to stop being silent

I'm an old white woman, white people start talking to me with their racial bullshit thinking I must be one of them. I used to keep quiet because who wants to argue with idiots all day but years ago I just couldn't stand it anymore. My daughters father is black, my grandsons father is black. I let them talk about the thugs and welfare queens for a few minutes and then show them pictures of my black daughter, black son in law and black grandson and ask them what if I said this about your family? A minute ago you thought I respected you, what do you think I think of you now?
