My dad is a racist. [I Need Advice]

So, we just watched the verdict of the Derek Chauvin trial, and I was almost in tears, happy that he was convicted. My dad starts talking about how there’s another camera angle of the video of him kneeing on Floyd and that he wasn’t on his neck. My dad is acting like he wants to prove that a white cop wouldn’t murder a black man. My dad also is racist towards Arabs, thinking that they’ll be dangerous which is so wrong. It pisses me off, and I almost don’t want to have a relationship with him anymore. Any advice?

We all need to learn how to have conversations with people without feeling the need to exclude them from our lives.

“Dad, you’re wrong... so, how about the NHL playoffs this year?”

So long as he’s not out there breaking laws and being uncivil to people, you don’t need to confront him on every topic.

But you also needn’t agree with him.
