My mother is the most extreme racist I know. She discriminates on everyone who is not white, and I cannot stand it. She wont even let me watch a movie on the living room t.v. if its a "N***** movie" (hope I didnt offend... but thats how bad it is). I wanted to go to the Pride Parade with my best guy friend (who is gay) and she freaked out on me.
I have different view points on people. I only have a problem with people who have a problem with me. I dont discriminate against color, race, gender, sexuality, etc, and she cant stand that about me.
What do I say to her? How can I help her see what the world is like here in 2007? In her defense, she grew up on the south side of Chicago and went to school during all the King Race Riots and the color divide was dangerous, because the both sides hated each other, not just one sided.
