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?

Wow ... that is quite a lot of discussion.

▪The officer was railroaded

▪The evidence at trial was irrelevant to the charges ... it was a show

▪For the most part, the MN prison system will move him to parole

▪He just had to sit there and watch the show

The show was about politics ... not justice

It was silly from the start.

It is silly now

Please do not think you are better than your dad ... both you and him deserve a better outcome

If you believe yourself morally superior to people ... rethink it
