mother dearest
Help Im in a longwood school district where 57% ofthe students are white 38% are black and the rest are others. I do not mind this at all but my mother is very judgemental, preduduce and rasict. I happen to be white and so is she and at this point i doubt she trusts me at all and i dont kno why she always views my instant messages and always seems to think im doing something wrong..often gets iffy when shes around black people and is straight up disrespectful to me and others around her about this particular topic....Ive tried to tell her how horrible that is but she DOES NOT listen....WHAT DO I DO?!??!?
PS she is 40 and i am 13 my father is 46 my sister is 16 and i think its because black people tried to kick her ass in her school but i can sorta understand why now alothough my dad has no problem nor my sister

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
her oppinion is her oppinion. you can't change that, but try to stick up to what you believe. you are right about predujuice so dont let your mother dicourage you.

it doesn't matter which color you are, everyones equal and show your mother that your friends and most people in your school aren't waht they say they really are. try helping your dad and your sister to help your mom realize this. my familys the same thing but its my dad, but after a while he realized how mean his comments were and how they hurt me because they are my friends too! hope things go well x0

Racism angers me greatly. There simply is no excuse for it. However, racism is ignorance and the only way to change ignorance is to educate. In a situation like you have, with the racist person being your mother, the education that you can offer her is the way that you conduct your life. Show her that you can love and trust people of all nationalities/cultures/colors through your interactions with others. Hate is something that is learned and it takes a while to "unlearn" it. Be the example of just behavior to her and perhaps, through the love of your example she will see the error of her ways. Best Wishes!
