I'm off to my brother's wedding in Colorado Wednesday.
Should be interesting since my Fascist, Racicst mother will be there. And example of her thinking which should warm the cockels of your hearts:
"I do not think that it is a matter of me and "my racist friends" dying off. It is a matter of education and attitude. Institutionalized poverty or "the professional poor" is a matter of fact. It isn't going away in my lifetime or beyond.
Nobody around here even likes you. You are better off in England or some other island. Why bother your little mind about the USA.
It is too bad that we all feel this way. You will be treated well at Sean's wedding, I'm sure.
I do not have the patience nor the desire to put up some refugees. I would take children or babies. I would indeed take a pet of someone who did not have a place.
I suppose that I will see you at the wedding--groan!
groan!"
So there you have it -- she isn't in fact racist, it's just she'd rather have a dog or a baby than a poor black refugee.
