I'm losing patience with my brother in law
I've already had to create a gmail filter to eliminate every instance of his address+Obama, ever since he learned I was a supporter. He throws the N word around every time I see him. He's done so long before he ever heard of Barack. He's an all around racist. His daughter grew up to have better sense. She's gay, and non racist, and just as irritated as I am about his attitudes.

This weekend we were talking about segregation with people at a family gathering. I remember the last vestiges of segregation. I knew places with two men's rooms and two ladie's rooms, but didn't know why there were two until I was older (born/raised in Louisiana. Memories from the mid 1960s).

As we discussed these memories, he blurted out "If only we could go back to those days." I retorted with "I was just about to say, thank goodness those days are behind us." We both let it drop, but he's the kind of guy who makes a point of making racist statements at every opportunity, and it will continue.

Nothing you guys can do about it, but I had to vent.

1. Wow what an ass
My BILs family is pretty conservative but nowhere near that! I'm sorry you have to put up with people like that. :( What you say reminds me of a piece on the Daily Show this past week about the WV primary where they showed a clip of a woman saying Obama was "of the other race and we've had problems with those people." :wow: So there's only white or not white and demanding civil rights is causing problems. Nice. :puke:

3. What'll he do once Obama gets elected?
If he hates America so much maybe he should join al Qaeda.

4. My conservative sister-in-law once stated at a BIRTHDAY PARTY...
that she would not let us into her bomb-shelter
if an emergency occurred.

Now let me mention, she DOES NOT HAVE A BOMB SHELTER.

She must have been watching too many Twilight Zone re-runs
or something.

She has home-schooled her bright, but socially retarded boys.

And she once told me that just because abortion SHOULD
be illegal, and abortion doctors should be tried for
murder, it DOES NOT entail that she should adopt any
unwanted children that might result.

:crazy:

She can't understand why my "relationship" with my
brother is now "strained"...

:eyes:

6. Do some geneology on him
Most Americans have some black blood (god I hate that crap) in their background. Why would he be any different? Maybe if he found out he was a fourth cousin to Malcolm X he'd ... oh who knows what.
I mean Barack Obama and Dick Cheney are related!
Jeez, my SonIL's family looks like a UN meeting.
