My niece confiding in me about her 'friend' being racist is such a "yeah, girl we've all been through it" kinda conversation

It's infinitely sad that children will have to transition from innocence to the ugly realities of life and it's even more sad when their innocence is taken unreasonably early. Then there is racism, one of the ugliest societal cancers. To want to hurt people on such a fundamental level is such a toxic trait and it can never come from a place of good, no matter how it is dressed up. If I had kids I would never want them to grow up and would struggle to want to let them leave the house to be honest. I wouldn't even want a child to live my life, let alone the life of someone who had to suffer racism.

It’s very difficult for me to keep such friends, it’s deal breaker for me

It's upsetting!

Even crazier that someone can tell a friend that he she is racist and not even worry about losing that friendship. Like talking about going to the movies.

I would ask her in what way is she racist?

What happened, if you don't mind me asking?

Unfortunately, it is a reality that behavior like that will always be around.

Do you think that racism is getting worse in the last few years?

Can you be specific when you say “being racist “ or you don’t know exactly what she did ?
