It was this argument with my mom that helped me realize she was the sort of racist that doesn’t think she’s racist. We were talking about how black men tend to get a longer sentence for the same crimes than white men. Her stance was pretty much “well, they shouldn’t have done the crime” and I’m like… Mom. Unfair is unfair.
Thankfully we’re no longer close for other reasons.

Sorry to hear that, but good for you for making that decision.
