(15,064 posts)try to reason with bigots or racists. Life is too short. And believe me I've known many. BIG LEAGUE. Born and raised in racist South Carolina.

(7,573 posts)I had a"friend" who wished someone would shot Hillary dead during the election process....she would hear nothing negative about the orange one.....I finally came to the conclusion that she was as brain-dead as the orange one and ended our "friendship" right after election day. I want nothing to do with a person who hates any minority and wants innocent people dead but claims to be a Christian. She certainly has enveloped the deplorable moniker.

(8,445 posts)Quite a few. And I resent it when people tell me that I should just leave politics out of relationships. Their politics tell me who they are.

What is really troubling is,couple of the Grand Kids thing it is cool to spout hatred towards non Whites. Needless to say,it has been months since speaking,will not tolerate Hate speech and lies.

(27,813 posts)... with my youngest sister. She was a daughter of my father's second marriage, and we found each other through FaceBook about nine years ago, after having been estranged since we were in our early teens.
I ignored her racist-tinged remarks for years - we live 600 miles apart, and it's not like I had to deal with her on a one-on-one basis. We kept our communications to family news about our kids, grandkids, etc.
I cut her out of my life when she praised Trump's election, and his plans to "get rid of those people".
We never talked politics - but I should have known she'd be a Trump supporter - she is dumb-as-a-brick, has never read a book in her life, and is so illiterate I could barely decipher her emails.
So now she's out of my life - no regrets.

Back before FB I'd get some stupid RW mass email and I'd ALWAYS do a "Reply All" debunking and pushing back. I never got more than two such emails from anyone person before they took me off the list.
On FB, I've unfriended people who post garbage, or at least blocked them from my page. And when something does show up, I push back. I won't let such crap go unchallenged.
