The Brainwashing Of My Dad?
Yeah, that's a good one.
The problem is the recipient has to be receptive to their bias and intolerance. And most either aren't or actively revel in it.
OP mentioned his friend is willing to be receptive so that's why I mentioned that one. And thanks for the name.
Her, and im also black so im like, the perfect candidate for this 🥴
LoL. Yes you are. Good luck. From an old black dude to a black youngin'.
Good point. Hopefully it works for his friend.
I was talking in more general terms. Most of the time people don't want to open their mind to a different perspective. That's awesome that OP's friend is bucking that trend!
Oh yea she's super cool when not spewing stuff about the border. Ive got her to change her opinion on Book bannings and LGBT books being in schools.
She's very receptive to hearing me out and so is her family it seems. They're all conservative.
