She's brilliant in every other way. She's kind, loving, iron willed, stalwart, knows how to do more with her hands than any two parents put together.
But on politics, she just does this absolute nose dive. She's the one who taught me to think how I do, so when I show data, statistics and cited sources and she flippantly dismisses them and doubles down on her indoctrination, it's infuriating.
It's frustrating and insulting. That's what it's like to have a lib mother when talking politics.
We just stick to the weather and family now.
Anyway, here's quite a dump. Some of the statistics are highlighted in specific tables, others you'll have to hunt for yourself. Some of the notions I mentioned don't even need much scrutiny, like black admissions to college. It's almost impossible to find honest reporting on the subject, but in the collective mental furniture of people: they know there's tons of black only colleges, they know there's affirmative action and they know racial scholarships are more likely to benefit black students. White and especially asian kids have to get in on merit alone, and those are the families that are often paying exorbitant rates to offset the scholarships colleges give out to minorities. Still, I have included some sources and interesting links.
Best of luck with your arguments. I find that no matter how prepared I am, the results are the same when dealing with TDS liberals. You'd be better off teaching tricks to a pig.
