My friend of 25 years has a 20 year old daughter who posted how she never felt unsafe around a black person or gay person, but has around white men. My husband pointed our that the post is racist. She got all offended that my husband called her a racist and all hell has broken loose. They have all unfriended my husband. They are very left, we are very right leaning. I defended that my husband is struggling with all the anti white male sentiment, but no...you can't be racist against white people. The daughter did nothing wrong, is trying to find her voice. I am devastated that this friendship is crumbling, but I'm going to stand up for my husband. Anyone dealt with this?

Drop them.
Also, I recently reconnected with my late 60s parents and dreaded having to hear political trash from them. It had been 7 years since we spoke.
Turns out, they've gone full tilt America. I was so relieved that I literally hugged them and told them what a breath of fresh air their perspective was.
Keep your good friends close means identifying what your own values are. Then don't stray, or they are not your actual values.
