This is a serious post. I have been a long time lurker of T_D (since 2016). I have voted conservative since the day I turned 18 and have been employed since I was 16. 20 years later, everyone around me at work and in my personal life is a cucked liberal, brainwashed by leftist mass media. The only exception being my wife, who has also always been a hard worker and proudly conservative. My wife is not white. Aside from her, T_D has been the only other place I could turn to maintain sanity these past 4 years, and just lurking and reading posts/comments was enough to do that.
I’ve always been even handed towards people throughout my life regardless of their skin color and have always treated people equally. That is how my conservative parents were, and that’s how they raised me. My wife never, ever had an issue with me being white. But lately (starting less than a month ago) that’s changed, despite us being together for 10 years. She now tells me she hates the fact that I’m white. She used to believe all races contained racists, and now it’s just white people.
My wife watches the news (mass media) every day, and when I asked her tonight about the Nascar noose and what she thought of it, she hadn’t even heard it was a hoax (or at best a false claim). Remember, she watches the news everyday, including today. I tried explaining that the FBI investigation came up negative, didn’t want to hear it. Tried showing her the video of the garage tour of Talladega from 2017, showing the pull strings beside every door - didn’t want to look at it.
I am not asking for marital advice from you patriots, but I am curious if anyone out there in an interracial marriage/relationship is suddenly experiencing new tension in their relationship due to the mass media promoting and propagating racial tension. I don’t have anywhere else to turn.
Thanks for hearing me out. God bless you all and God bless America. Trump 2020.
I am sorry your wife is developing into a racist.
The exact type of racism is well known. It is the racism of the oppressed or those they believe they are. They seek an enemy, usually another race. This race is oppressing them.
A famous example of this is Nazism. Wait you might ask isn’t that Nationalism and belief that they’re superior.
That’s later stage. Initially it started as the Germany people be oppressed by Jewish people and other European.
You can actually see this evolving with black nationalist. In fact they have a religion around it. Black Islam or the Nation of Islam. Go look at what they believe. Look at what religion nazis we’re trying to make.
Moving on. What you can do.
Ask her why only white people are racist.
Then talk about current slavery in Africa. In the Middle East. In China. The concentration camps in China. How they treat black people. The racist laws in these countries including immigration. How white countries are the most diverse and give them most foreign aid by far.
Asian countries have almost no diversity. African countries have almost no diversity. Mexico has laws that prevent people from buying land and even racial population requirements.
Her comments are based on ignorance. Her lack of understanding other countries and compassion for other people is obvious. Ignoring actual genocides.
Does she not care about other people at all? Because that is what she is saying when she says only white people are racist. When a white person is killed because of their race, there are stats on anti white hate crimes she is co-signing on it.
You can seek couples counseling. You can even talk about the issue. You can say “One of us believes it’s okay to kill someone because of their race and the other disagrees with that.”
Let’s see what the counselor says.
I agree with your main point. The problem with counselling with an issue like this is that I would need to be absolutely sure that our counsellor would be politically unbiased, and I would bet dollars to donuts if I shot a cannon ball at counselling HQ in my city I would hit nothing but liberals.
Most counselors should be trained in how to speak to people and understand where they’re coming from.
I know someone in a similar situation and the “woke” therapist pointed out the issues with it.
You should speak your feelings and let her know how you feel when she does that. How does she like it when people label her because of her ethnic background? I assume Asian.
I hope you resolve it but counseling can help. You need to get the language down. There are other issues at play.
She should study history and look up the reality of life. Likes hard in your situation without outside help.
One thing you can do is when she says a racist statement ask her to explain it in detail. She needs to backup her claims and also realize it means when people experience racism by non white people she is taking away from that.
Thanks, I like the idea of having her explain in detail. I’ll try some more tactics like this and just hope time solves it. If not, then I will look into some sort of counselling. I appreciate the tips.
