Amen. This was too real—even trill, some might say. Though the use of song lyrics had me dying.

The list would be shorter if you asked what haven’t they ruined.

The color white

D a m n Panamayne. This may be the realest, rawest piece I’ve ever seen from you. I hate it had to come down to that. I mean, riding around with the MAGA shirt on WITH my Black a$$ in the car would have been my breaking point, so NO ONE can say you didn’t fight the good fight.

I’m sorry about what happened. All of it. I felt tears well up in my eyes for you as I read this. It’s heart-wrenching. And baffling.

What I don’t get is how the hell a Frenchwoman who’s parents were probably directly affected by WWII apparently sees nothing wrong with letting Nazis have free-reign to trample all over a government again.

I always find it suspect when a mother lets the kids leave, especially when so young.

This was a tough read. I’m sorry PJack. This has to be a devastating situation for you. I can’t imagine.

I am so sorry! I think we “mixed-kids” have some serious decisions that were thrust upon us. My stomach hurt while reading this, I broke off all communication with my mother’s family after the election. But unlike your mother, my mother stood by my side and did the same. I’m not sure how you can fix this, or if you…

I just don’t get it.

I had a similar discussion but with my in-laws. They don’t understand that the their grandchild is bi-racial but the world will see her as Black. They assume we are ‘repressing’ her white side. When in fact they want to oppress her black side. They are staunch supporters of Trump and dislike Hillary because she is…

This is really hard, and I am sorry you are experiencing this. Hopefully at some point you will regain a semblance of a relationship

Good morning PJ. I had a similar relationship with my best friend’s mother until, for my own mental sanity I had to cut her off. My best friend is white and I am black and I am the godmother her children (if the unthinkable happens, my BFF wants me - and not any one in her family - to take care of her kids, lawyers…

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... that’s cold as hell. Sorry to hear that.

I get the drama with your mama thing just on a general level from hard-won personal experience. Also, you don’t have to agree on politics with your parents in general. That said, that your mom values Whiteness over her own kids and grandchildren are striking. Apparently, she doesn’t see anything in common between…

No shade, but speaking in general terms, things like this just instantly make me think that folks need to be a WHOLE lot more careful in who they choose to lay down with, let alone sire children with and/or marry. For all of the above. There are always clues, no matter how pronounced or subtle.

So sorry to hear that Panama. I know this entire situation isn’t easy and I know it’s even harder to express it in public. I’m sure many people are experiencing the same thing you are and your voice will support those that think they are alone. Sometimes you just have to leave people clean on alone and let them find…

I’m gonna say evil people look like their soul has already left their body and their skin is only kept partially suspended over their bones by bugs like the alien on Men in Black.
