My parents actually grounded me for disagreeing with my grandmother. She is amazingly conservative and a total racist, I said onething to disagree with her, and I'm in trouble. SHould I keep telling her she's wrong, I couldn't care less what my parents do, but I know she's not gonna agree with me whatever I say, so should I even bother
to be honest, ive given up on converting my dad and grandparents from their particular brand of racism. it wont change, especially not in the city theyre livig in. i dont agree with them, but i dont argue needlessly over it nor rant to them about it. but thats mee, and when i was 14 i was still thinking i could change their minds
The greatest problems in the world happen when good people fail to act. Maybe you want to take a break till your a bit older. But I wouldn't give up completely. Racism is terrible, it doesn't matter what you grew up with.
Make up a phrase to say to her, such as "You have a point there GrandMa" But in your head you think "I HOPE YOU DIE A LONG, HORRIBLE, LONELY DEATH, YOU OLD BITCH." Then, all you have to do, is agree with her all the time. :lol:
I think I'll use that but When she says stuff like "All gay people and foreighners should leave America to nreal Americans" WHich isn't really an exatteration, it's hard to say "You've got a good point" no matter what I'm really thinking
I'd find an excuse to exit the room. It's probably not worth getting in trouble for arguing with her, but you shouldn't have to listen to that.
Vegout024 : You have a right to your own opinion , but in family matters and at your age it would be best to keep your thoughts to yourself and not tell grandma she's full of shit. Which sounds like she is. I had a aunt, my dads older sister. Who was a bitter, racist, catholic women. She once went off in morning mass because a black man was in HER church.. What goes around, comes around. She died alone, bitter, without any friends or family to mourn her. I do feel sorry for the life she chose for herself.
All good points. Thank's all. I think I'll do what Alaskan and StillRavenMad said and just leave the room, I only see her like twice a month anyway. Thanks for the help everyone peace and love
I have this problem bro, everytime she makes a racist mark. I just start yelling at her and questioning her opinion and her beliefs and in the long run i think ive gotten through to her a lil bit.
your 14 year's old? When you are 18 you are not going to give a shit about who say's what or what other people think, so blow this off, and chawk it up as lessons learned, older people are rasist, it is just how they are, so take her comment's with a grade of assult, and suck it up, there are going to be alot of people who don't agree with you in life, and this is no different. good luck
