Today my 14 year old nephew got called a nigger. My sister, his mom, is white; his dad is black. He doesn't speak to his dad (NBA player turned fuck you baby momma). My nephew has a "black" sounding name. Sadly, I know these taunts will continue. I told my sister that if anyone calls him a nigger again he should punch them in the face and we'll deal with the teachers and politics of it. No one calls you that, ever. .... also today: I was asked to officiate my brother-in-law's wedding (read: I'll legally marry them). I'm an atheist, and because of that, now a large portion of their families no longer wants to attend the wedding. Focus: What sets you off? Alt. Focus.: What sets other people off that you just don't understand?
