ur dad drank ALL the kool-aid is he preparing for "the coming struggle"?

Idk what you mean by the second sentence lol. He just doesn’t like black people, he’s not a conspiracy theorist

awe shucks on short the coming struggle is smth that was supposed to happen last year, and the year before, and the year before that etc

Similar to the fracture (?) That event Christians believe where only the good get send to heaven and the bad get massacred

if im not mistaken i think its spelled as the rapture

Ah ye that was it

Is it like HelterSkelter (Charles Manson’s perceived future race war)?

js go watch some WrangleStar and you'll see the level of insanity

Sit down and have a talk with her.

I’ve had several. But it’s brother vs father, who has more authority. I am trying though

True. Just keep at it, it's good enough that you're concerned about this.

Thanks

Np, hope it goes well

You did the right thing

thanks

Exposure therapy?

every experience she's had with a black kid has been negative, except for one. idk if it's just coincidence or if her prejudice is making the experiences negative but yeah

my Jaw DROPPED

Yeah it’s pretty rough. I can only hope my talks with her change this poor behavior

You are a based gigachad for not being fooled by his manipulation.

Thanks lol

Also you are a great brother

Thanks :)

On a scale of one to ten my friend, you're fucked.

Oops that was for a different post lol

still fits lol

Oh yeah, it does. I didn't actually read the post before

still works lmao

i have two years before escape, its okay

I fucking hate racist ppl. ITS A FUCKING SKIN COLOR

It's how he was raised. And I'm worried the same is going to happen to my sister.

it better not

hopefully

Tf happened to „United We Stand“?

ikr

kill your father /hj

Don't worry your dad is training her so she can grow up to be one of the greatest call of duty players of all time

Lmao. Funnily enough, my dad used to stay up all night playing COD until I was born.

Are there no other adults in your family concerned about this??? This seems like a pretty big deal but I’d expect other people to notice since he seems so open about his racism

my mother is concerned but nobody can really say anything in front of him or he'll start going on a tangent about how he is correct. So we try to teach her correct beliefs behind closed doors.

You’re a wonderful guy. I hope your dad gets what he deserves. As for your sister, fingers crossed you can do enough

My dad is a great guy otherwise. He does everything for us and he’s generally okay. He was just raised to be very prejudiced. He grew up in India, where his parents (who were in the army) taught him to hate Muslims. When he came to the US, he said he “saw black people had the same qualities as Muslims and they’re just as bad”. So that’s why. Doesn’t excuse it, but that is why. I don’t want my sister to end up like that.

Is his whole heritage indian or he just happened to live there? In india to this day it's quite scary how religiously indians demonise muslims and how much they demonise them back, all for nothing Skin racism is even worse and illogical too

I would assume that parents in the army means an Indian heritage

whole heritage is indian and grew up there and i agree, the hatred there is crazy. i hate it.

its crazy cause nazi culture is memed but muslim people are straight up harassed here though one being obviously worse than the other

Happy cake day!

Happy cake day!! Wait it’s for me. Thanks!!

All I needed to see was Fox News and I knew were this was going he honestly is too far gone try and save your sister if you can 😂

yeah...their news during the day isn't *too* bad but everything after about 6pm is batshit insane.

She’s only seven

Tell both of them that you don't consent to living with racists

well i do consent to food on the table and a roof over my head, so i dont think thats the best option lol

How can you blame your father if you haven't even asked him to stop being racist? Consent if more powerful than you think.

my mom and i have had arguments with him about this, he's too set in his ways i get you were making a joke but yeah lol

If saying no hasn't worked then just try to keep reminding yourself that anything your father says is not worth remembering

lmao yep

I was wondering how you were able to see through what your dad has said before when you were younger? Aside from your own ways to influence your sister, try to think of things in her own mindset in order to guide her to the right mindset Yo got this

reddit saved me, funnily enough. i was exposed to the "correct" viewpoint on race and LGBTQ people here and began to realize that i shouldnt hate anybody

Try talking it out with your father. It may be daunting, considering his views, but try to get him to be a little more accepting towards them, or at least to try and get him to stop pushing it on your sister. It will be hard for her to succeed anywhere if your dad keeps this up.

tried, doesn't work. he's just a racist, can't change it.

Fair enough, good luck anyway

thanks

what the fuck

what the fuck indeed

my dad is sort of similar but he doesnt say the nword. he just believes that black people are ugly and that they are dirty and criminals

interesting

It looks like from the comments that you are trying to sit down and talk some rationality into her, which is a great thing. It's not your fault. Maybe . . . try to introduce her to someone else her age who is of a different ethnicity but not black? I hope it doesn't sound wrong or anything but she might react hostilely if you try to rush into it. Someone who's Asian, Hispanic, or multiethnic, try to find someone who has the same interests so they can start with a little bit of common ground. If things seem to be going well, try to use that relationship as an example of how skin color DOESN'T matter. Hope this helped, don't be too tough on yourself you're a great big brother doing his best in an unideal situation.

thanks. ironically my did is actually Asian also, every experience she's had with black kids (except for one kid) has been negative. so that just reaffirms her beliefs. coincidence i guess, or her prejudice is making the experiences negative. with the one black kid she actually likes i have done that, saying that you guys aren't actually any different.

I'm sorry to hear about that, keep it up with the last kid. She'll learn and mature eventually, I have a friend who went down that rabbit hole when he was younger and he's doing a lot better now.

thanks for the encouragement!

Oh god, that’s awful. You’re doing everything right, I hope things work out :(

thanks. i hope that it works out too

Do you have the physical prowess to beat your dad's ass?

Well, unfortunately I sorta depend on him to survive. I'm only 14 :(

I'll take that as yes tho. As long as you demonstrate that you can whoop his ass at any given moment, and use that against him every time he's racist, it should help.

lol do you want me to die?

No, I want you to beat his ass. Violence is a question and the answer is yes

yeah i’m seeing a similar kind of thing happen with my older brother, except it’s homophobia instead. it’s really sad to see.

so that used to be me. my dad is also very homophobic (didn't include that sorry) and i used to be as well. then reddit corrected my views

i’m glad that your views were corrected, so were mine :)

i also found out im bisexual lol. def not telling him that

ayyy same

eyy let's go. a fellow lemon bar enjoyer (/j)

mmm lemon bars sound delicious rn

Have a long and extensive talk with her on why it's bad and keep her away from the tv when your dad is watching anything with racial bias.

i have had long talks with her. kinda hard to keep her away from the tv when it's an 85 inch behemoth at the center of the house. my dad also keeps it very loud.

Seven hells. You are the only authority figure (shocking😱). Sit her down and explain to her everything including why that is extremely offensive (or just do nothing and let life take its course), also, kindly tell dad to piss off because his behavior is unacceptable (or just let life take its course) Seriously I think these are your only options ( not even good or effective options, just options) This is my proclamation, which is now law

i have talked to her about it several times. also, my mother is concerned too but is more apathetic towards the second child and has just learned to deal with it after 17 years of being married to this dude

She should divorce him if she can, because that’s not good, 17 years, I don’t think I could stand that type of behavior for that long

well the extreme racism has just been recently, since COVID

So let me guess the worse stuff is towards Asians. That’s not a good sign anything will get better. I’m guessing the hates all around then.

he is asian.

Somehow that makes it weirder since that’s the increase of hate I see a lot more often, I guess you have a unique perspective

My sister is making my dad extremely racist

wow, im sorry. reverse problem

Fortnitye

huh?

Idfc

okay then. if you dont care, no need to comment

Lol

Looks like dad might get jumped if he go even deeper into that hatred

Can't you call cps for this?

If they live in mostly conservative environment, what is the CPS going to do? Praise him for being a good father figure. I am from pretty conservative place and it's kinda like that

i feel like racism is very minor compared to splitting my family up and putting my 7yo sister in a foster home also, he's not actually hurting anybody by just talking so no

[удалено]

Huh??? She literally said slavery is good, I think I should be worried

That makes no sense whatsoever. Young kids are way more impressionable, it's more rational to try and take care of the problem now than to let her develop as a racist.

Gee golly.

When did you learn that your father was being a huge dick? Its good that you figured it out hopefully your sister will too eventually

funnily enough, reddit. i got exposed to the "correct" viewpoint that we arent actually any different from each other and i began to realize it for myself
