Convince me to stay a liberal.

56. Don't give up on us...white people are just a little dumb when it comes to this stuff.

I'm 52. White. I live in the Chicago area. My dad was a tradesman in the city. Pretty much racists...although they tried to hide it in mixed company. This was the generation of stupid that MLK fought to get civil rights.

My generation was raised by these people. I was wired differently...never saw things the way my dad did. However, a lot of white people my age really struggle with race because we were indoctrinated into a life where privilege is normal.

The good news is, no matter how many of us think like buffoonish privileged dufusses, our kids don't think that way. My town is a tea bagger town, with many my age still displaying these intolerable views. But OUR KIDS DON'T THINK THAT WAY AT ALL.

They all cross cultures just like breathing. You can see it in their friend groups from grade school now into college. They do naturally what my generation would naturally NOT DO.

So don't worry so much about the people on here...we'll get old and retire. Our kids will fix it despite our views.
