Babies tend to change things, I've seen this happen time and time again. Congrats on a gorgeous baby!!

I'm a bit doubtful that this is actually true and not just a story put in a picture someone found on the internet.
Hitchgaffa
My dad would also be very happy if I called him racist and posted a picture of him online.
nomatta922
Dad has Vietnam vet buddy whose white & racist as hell and so is his best friend, the black guy. Their can be common bonds beyond the racism
AshleyFosf8
Cringe...who's* and there*

Or maybe the picture is just a random white dude with a child and they've captioned it with a lie, that's often the case online.

I've seen grandchildren bring broken families back together. Nothing like one of your own, you can give back..
Aibell125
My grandpa hadn't spoken to my dad in years before my birth. I was his first grand baby, and to this day he adores me and tolerates my dad
cinemeasctha
My de facto sister's father only spoke to her after she had first Child after a decade. She has four now and he is best Granddad
TheImperiumOfMan135
He is more closely related to a random white child than his own grand-daughter. Sad!

This happened to my stepdads best friend. It's hard.for people to change, and it's rare, but he realised cutting off family is a lonely life

Conservatives always change when it gets personal: they lack empathy, which isn't necessarily their fault. E.g.: Cheney's daughter

Conservatives lack empathy? I thought that was negroes...

At one point, in America's past, slaves were considered 3/5's of a person...to put it simply. It was called the three-fifths compromise.
HowCaniGoForBrokeIfimAlreadyPoor
More specifically they counted for 3/5's of a vote.
halogenL
And for population and other census data pieces
kayakj
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-Fifths_Compromise
nuclearboner
The three fifths rule was created by the north so the south could not use the numbers of the blacks for extra representation.
nuclearboner
It played a role in ending slavery, not continuing it.
brookslewis
It was more of a compromise as the South wanted them to count as full people and the North didn't want them to count at all.
siouxperman
3 out of every 5 slaves in the south before the civil war were counted towards a district/state's population for more voting power.
fil3000
Thanks
siouxperman
No problem

Even when the slaves themselves could not vote at the time.

Racist parents disowning their children for marrying/getting pregnant/dating outside their race is common in America
cheeseburgersmakemehorny
It's not that common.
SomeCrazyNerd
For racist people it is.
Cheomesh
Can confirm; worked at a place with a guy who almost completely disowned his daughter for marrying a black man.
GarikFaceLoran
It's probably more common outside of the US. People act like the US is the most racist, but we're tame compared to a lot of other countries.
NotWrenP
I heard about a Chinese family for disowning a daughter for marrying s white dudes
LongDongShiverGiver
Yeah marrying multiple white dudes is somewhat frowned upon.

People change for better or worst. I'm trans (mtf), i went 10 years without talking to my family and parents, when we reconnected after I

Have you completed the transition
justanotherdescendingangel
Over a year fulltime, legal name change and birth cert changed to female, 1.5 years hrt

But have you completed the changes, genitalia?

Would you mind talking to me over email, I'd really like to talk to someone who is trans coz I did this play about transgenders
BlackBirchOwl
Serious question: you can legally change your birth certificate? What are the requirements and I'm honestly surprised that's allowed.
justanotherdescendingangel
Yup. In Canada the req is left up to different provinces. In the province i was born in (Manitoba) it required about 10 pages of forms.
justanotherdescendingangel
It says female, no special clauses, nothing. Just a normal birth cert
justanotherdescendingangel
Oh and a Doctors letter stating i could change it

He might still be racist. I've seen people make "exceptions" for people they know. I'm black, adopted by whites. Best of luck my friend.

But that's how it begins. That's why an integrated and inclusive society are the only ways to move onto a global community.

Those who resist actions which help to alleviate social/economic differences (the driving dividing factor), are probably those who aren't

The argument for why people should be themselves and gay people should come out whenever possible.

If only, but rarely true. Racist in-laws would just have exceptions for people they know well.

It's not always what happens, but that's the common start to recovery for a lot of racists. You don't scream equality enough times and bing!

While most stop at step 1, it isn't possible to get all the way to non-racist without first taking that step.

DoseOfScience
to them by relatives, and they accept on faith, nonspecific faith of a non religious nature.
karmenouji
I don't think they mean "faith" only in a religious context, I think they mean it as in their beliefs in general.
TheImperiumOfMan135
Given the obnoxious name and the scare-quotes on "proof", it's a reasonable assumption that we're being lumped with Young Earthers.

No it's not. The name is irrelevant, and he has quotes around "proof" because people use proof to justify their beliefs. However 1/2

Blacks make up around 12% of US population, and only 5% of the 12% are in the upper middle class (group that does most adopting)

So, American blacks that fall in the demographic that adopts are only 0.6% of US population. Also, I imagine when they adopt, they're black
