1) an uncle who would NOT stop sending racist Obama memes in 2007. Had to confront and block. He said that "I just didn't understand humour." He is considered a "Godly man" in his community, BTW.
2) The CEO of a company that I used to work for who felt it was OK to goad me about my Obama sticker on my car.
Good gravy! WHY do people like that think its ok...I guess its an age thing, and an unwillingness to grow and empathy and change and.... you get what I'm saying. Sorry you had to deal with that BS.
I eventually pushed back on the CEO ... and during a high-level meeting where we were discussing options for speakers at a business event we were sponsoring. He said, "I bet we could get Obama because it's after the election (2012) and he'll for sure be free!"
Me "I'm pretty sure he'll be running the country then." I went on to work for that company for 2 more years .... and he never brought up politics with me again.
Wow, and I can certainly relate:
