“Kennedy’s appearance at the anti-abortion’s group’s annual breakfast”

And not getting paid for it.

One of many. =(

You just described my sister-in-law. Thank you. I was starting to think it was *just* me who wasn’t quite right, but no, it’s her, too.

Yeah same here. I used to get upset, angry that she couldn’t see herself or what she was doing and then I realized she was incapable of it. It didn’t make it okay, but it helped me realize that it will never, ever change. It took some time for me to get to that point though.

I don’t care who it is, I would never be seen in public with a someone wearing trump gear. Don’t care if it was my grandma and she had a few weeks left to live. Fuck that shit.

I disagree. I’m in my 50s and these groups have always been around. They came to campus when I was in college. They came to the cities I lived in. We were told to stay away and ignore them. I guess you’ve never heard of these because it worked. They never got any attention. So now you decide to confront them and…

what the actual fuck dude. that was a savage attack for a woman who was only contributing to the conversation. that was mean spirited and sad

Wow ok. I’m sorry you’re bitter. As a clinician and a human being I can only hope you get some help. The world is a tough enough place without carrying around all that hatred for strangers.

I have to be honest, after all the talk the alt right did about how every black person shot by police had it coming it would have been some poetic justice if the police killed Cantwell.

We don’t ignore Nazis. We hit them with bright sunshine, shut down their websites, get them fired, ostracize them and occasionally punch them in the fucking dick.

I’ve got to agree with this. I have posted many times about my past here - I’m biracial but was raised white, my mother did in fact “experiment” and rebelled against her father and had herself a brown baby. My parents split when I was 18 months and haven’t seen my father since (we are in contact over the phone…

Wow! Such a similar story to mine, though mine ended shortly after Thanksgiving (It was far too much for me to take)...it boggles the mind.

The problem is that they think they’re RIGHT. That’s why they say “He tells it like it IS” about Trump. In other words, Trump came along and confirmed ALL their biases about immigrants, Muslims, and people of color.

I was leery about going there, but you have a point. It’s telling that she let another woman just up and raise her kids from a young age with nary a care in the world. That can’t be a positive thing.

I am so sorry you had to do this. I have lost 30+ year friendships because of Trump but not family.. I can’t imagine it. From what you’ve described I think the main reason it is hard to see your side is that unlike alot of white people who have black children. She did not “raise” you in the traditional sense and…

Panama what a beautiful heart breaking piece to read. I’m the mother to a wonderful biracial boy and the wife to an incredible black man who made it from the Foster Care System to the Ivy Leagues. I respect admire and adore your writing. My husband and I are raising our kid to fully embrace the biracial experience…

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…

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…
