Racist neighbors...how do you deal with them without creating more problems? email this discussion to a friend?

jacobsguardian (87)   ranked 493 out of 921 in relationships2 months ago

We had some neighbors move in across the street recently, and they have been hanging out with us at our friends' house on Friday and Saturday nights. Just the other night, the wife, under the influence of alcohol, began shooting off at the mouth and saying how she didn't even realize that America was allowed to have a black president and that black people would feel better about their financial situations if white people were still allowed to buy them. And, no, I'm not even kidding about this. So how do you let her know she's acting completely ignorant without stirring the pot too much? I guess I'm worried about retaliation, like her slashing my tires or vandalizing my house, but I also don't want her to think that what she was saying is going to be tolerated.

I would have made a commit back right then. I do not see any way for you to do anything right at the moment. If it happens again if i were you i would say something then.

*sigh* racists.
Well, if those kind of person tried to make any bad move on me or any of my friends, then it's war. If I were you, I wouldn't even look at racists out there. Being so proud of their race is a bit enough and it's giving more problems to our society.

Anyways,
Happy MyLotting

That's a tough question. It's really complicated when you saying about racists. In my opinions, ignore it? I don't know why, but sometimes when stuff like racists being confronted, it's only creating much more bigger problems. Simply ignore everything that she said, like what she said is a saying by a drunken woman. No need to take any further notice about it.

Hello my friend happy

I would ignore this situation, no sense starting something whats done is done, if it happens again do like I do and say lets just have fun I don't want to get into things like this its really depressing, and hopefully she will watch what she says, I had a older lady use to do this, she would say things that made me uncomfortable you know older people are somewhat set in their ways would not say she was racist but she would bring up things I didn't want to hear, so I would say can we please just enjoy our meal this conversation is starting to depress me, and she will stop,she would say things about rosa park and how great it was she didn't get of the bus, well sure but I don't want to talk about that, what did that have to do with anything at that point in time shocked, try sharing what I said about the conversation being depressing it worked for me, may work for you as well, not now, if it happens again.

Thank you for sharing.
