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?

No. Do not try to tell me he wasn’t murdered. Even if he wasn’t, Chauvin NEVER should’ve been NEAR his neck.@Tres13

@Slade This isn’t a matter of opinion. Whether or not drugs played a part, you can’t deny that Chauvin shouldn’t have been on his neck or that it wasn’t attempted murder. There’s NO way y’all can tell me that he thought leaning all his body weight on someone’s neck for NINE minutes wouldn’t kill him.

@marilynmichelle and certainly don’t allow yourself to be baited into a conversation with a douchebag like @Tres13

I don’t block him. I don’t cancel him. I call him a douchebag when he acts like one.

And if he wants to talk about sports, we can do that.
