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?

You know what? I don’t care anymore. I give up. This world is an awful place.

@marilynmichelle Your dad isn't the issue. You're the issue. You're a big baby who is intolerant of anyone who's viewpoints do not fit that of your own. I am happy Chauvin was convicted, but I'm not going to disown a family member for disagreeing with me. You're a liberal alright!

@LoveTriumphsOverHate It’s more than disagreement to me. There are other issues as well.

@marilynmichelle Don't do that, you are right, but giving up doesn't slove much.
Not all people disagree with your points, but many people will, happens, what matters is what you feel is worth standing up against and what is worth doing to get away from what you cannot tolerate

@LoveTriumphsOverHate I don’t care if people disagree. Typically, I’m more than willing to have a conversation to see other’s points and opinions. But not with this. This is too far for me. It’s past my limit. This also isn’t the only issue. Also, I never said I was going to disown him. I said it makes me want to. Doesn’t mean I will.

@marilynmichelle Only if you accept the liberal and fake news teachings. Get out of this shit and start really learning, open your mind and stop being a sheep.

@acpguy Dude, I wasn’t even talking to you.

It was still good advice you should take @marilynmichelle

@marilynmichelle Wow these people are demonstrating the deep systemic racism in America

@SW-User I’ve said this multiple times now. I look at differing sources. I don’t just go with what the media says or what my friends or parents say. This issue is past my limit. So, please. While I appreciate it, please stop.
