    Having grown up in a white household that was becoming middle class with two parents who were pretty poor the academic success and thus negation of identity was quite important. Faults were not addressed, but ignored with neighbors but also within the family, status was to be kept up. So call outs were seen not as only attack against personhood but self itself.

      Oh yeah, this is how my family is too. They’ll say some asinine shit and the second you call them out about it they shut it down because “well you’re being POLITICAL and we just won’t agree on that so we shouldn’t talk about it.” It’s ridiculous and one of the reasons I don’t talk to my family much anymore

        Politics is when minorities demand rights, and the less rights they already have, the more political it is. And if it’s a minority I haven’t heard of, that’s trolling.
