I lost respect for my Dad

One night I had a argument with my father. He claimed that white people were better than people of color just because their white. He tried to use a bible reference but I shut him down and tried to get him to see how racist and ignorant he sounded. Growing up these things kept happening with racist jokes and harmful comments about people of color and I was made fun of for defending people who weren't white. I've now learned he was in the KKK for a brief time and we don't speak. Not all of this is due to our differences when it comes to how we view race but I just can't see him as a good person anymore.

I don't blame you. I'd be shocked if I found out someone close to me had been in an organisation like that.
Sorry but at least you are above his ignorance 🙁👍🏼

We're from African ancestry and my mum still thinks that white people are better than us because SKIN COLOR even though we are all deep DEEP shades.
Looking back on y parents and grandparents over my lifetime, I realize that each was shaped by the culture and environment they grew up in. I also see how they changed their views over time as they matured and the culture/environment changed. And I see that my own views (toward homosexuality, for example, and more recently toward gender fluid people) have changed as I have become more aware and as my culture/environment changed.

This is probably the worst way for you to go through this, and for that I'm very sorry. 😔

People can change, perhaps he will someday.

Ohh my goodness not something would wish on a worst enemy to find out about someone they used to respect and possibly still love?

With age doesnt come maturity, necessarily.

I'm sure he couldn't actually believe that shit. There's no scientific proof that one race is superior over any other in fact science shows that mixing genes gives the offspring real world advantages.

It really is a sad state of affairs when people will choose to cling to their hatreds at the expense of their families.
