    My grandmother started telling me the crime problem in American cities is because of all the black people.

    I tried arguing the point, so she called me a “removed-lover,” so I punched her in the head. And that was how I ended up homeless, originally.

    No regrets (except maybe that I should have punched her harder, I guess), but there are some practical reasons people tend to fall all over themselves to defend the hands that feed them, as it were.

      I mean I would understand if someone was dependent on someone. redditor is not dependent on his grandfather who died 10 years before he was born.

      Good on ya for standing up to awful old people damn the consequences. I’m blessed since non of my grandparents seemed particularly racist/sexist/etc
