pen_gruntListening to D trying to explain why "all lives matter" is an awful response to "black lives matter" to his mother (I think, though it could be his dad...but probably not).
They're not bad people, you guys. They actually try. It's just that they're very...isolated and naive and even ignorant about some things. Lack of exposure is the culprit. His sister in law thought she was in the middle of a shootout while on the way to our place because two people were loudly talking and "it's not because they're black, but..."
Oh. He's moved on to school shootings and gun control. Goodie.
Mostly his mom agrees, she just needs things pointed out to her sometimes and she does shift her perspective on frequent occasion.
