Feel free to share your own holiday get-together horror stories.

One brother-in-law has no filter between his brain and his speech, and usually that makes him a lot of fun and our favorite. But out of the blue today he starts talking about how America is the best (hard disagree, but he's American so I can give that a pass), people who don't like America should leave (stupid, but I see where you're coming from) and especially the blacks should go back to Africa (WTF!?!). I don't get how otherwise nice guys can be so full of hate for a whole class of people for no reason.

Edit: A sister-in-law says that slavery was the blacks' fault, because they sold their own. BIL's wife says the N word is the same level as "white trash".

There's more than enough resources out there for people to learn how to treat their fellow humans as equals. At this point it's wilful ignorance, the last few decades were trying to nicely- nicely educate them, at this point i say screw them and their ignorant views, leave them behind society and focus on the new generations
