Help me DU! Racism in my small CA town

[ismnotwasm]

14. I tell people off and end my association with them

And I would tell anyone who cares to know.

I would like to tell a story though. Many years ago, before we had even met, husband, who was raised to be a racist--his brother still is--got into a conversation with a Native American man. My husband was saying typical racist shit about black people. The Native American looked him in the eye and told him how much he despised white people because what they had done to his people.

This conversation changed my husbands life--he had never before considered that white people could actually be so wrong, and so vile, that they could inspire hatred. He examinined his own racism and through the help of his NA friend, is like me--we don't tolerate racism, we call it out. If such a conversation could help Tony, that would be great. If not, I wouldn't stay silent. I wouldn't try to sabotage him, but I would call him out every time he makes a racist comment.
