I corrected my Dad on his hateful speach a few years back and he replied ”it’s my goal, just as it should be yours, to be better than my father”.
That has to be one of the most candid things he’s ever said to me.
Agreed.
My grandparents: Loudly racist
My parents: Quietly racist
Me: Thinking brain logical, but unconscious bias
My kids: Man, my parent is racist.
Good thinking, kid. Get better than me.
As a parent, I will always want my kids to do better than I did.
