content: Need advice RACIST FRIEND I have this friend who is pretty much like an alt right incel. Watches info wars, pewdiepie (i know, ew) but weve known each other since the 4th grade and I don't have the heart to just tell him to fuck off. Lately though, he keeps sending me all this racist shit and I almost have to block him because he always sends me these videos or articles like one where a random man threw a random kid off the 3rd floor of Mall of America, which is a horrible tragedy but he always makes it a racist thing by saying the man just happened to be black and the boy just happened to be white. Like ok? The kid is in the hospital and he's still alive so it's not that bad. This week he's sent me like 4 or 5 things and I know exactly what he's doing is trying to groom me to be racist. Like he sent me this video of a pregnant woman getting attacked by 2 young men, idk what she did and the news interview said they don't know why she was confronted but as usual my friend just had to make it about race. Like fuck off with that shit dude people are shitty no matter what color their skin happens to be. But yeah he sent me this one story where some psycho drove around a neighborhood around and around the same spot until he saw some kids and then he ran into them with his car. Im like dude crazy pepple just do crazy things but he's like nah dude he wanted to attack white people and I'm like even if he did, it's just one guy and he obviously has had a troubled life to do something like that. But my friend is trying to make it all about race . Also he uses these gross terms to refer to human beings, some of them I won't share for obvious reasons but he calls fellow humans all kinds ofnames and he even made up some for white women who don't see color: "mud shark" amd "coal burner"    hes constantly sending me stories of white women getting murdered or beaten by their boyfriends. But he only picks the stories where the girl is white and the guy is black, never shows me all the ones where the girl is black and the murderer is white... or like when all those fucking rednecks kill each other for cheating and whatever... audible sigh anyway I always do my best to point out common sense and say race has nothong to do with it.  I hit him with facts about Emmet Till and how racist fucks have always murdered black people for no reason by claiming they committed a crime (which is another racist trope, that whites have to "punish" other races for committing "offenses") and he just won't listen but I'm not giving up.  He showed me this video with no context where an officer of some kind is being hit by 2 or 3 boisterous teens outside mcdonalds and then instead of fighting back with his hands like they are, he OF COURSE draws a gun and threatens them all with it. Everybody in the McDonald's watching and recording through the window is all quiet but then  (rightly so) gets scared and starts screaming when the gun comes out and threatens the teens. Thankfully they got away without getting killed like so many others. I tried to point out that white people always use guns because they're too afraid to fight 2 or 3 guys man to man. Anyway, I know it's a wall of text but I just need some advice if any of you have been in a situation like this where someone you're close to is getting way too toxic but it's not something personal. Part of me knows I should just leave him to be the racist dumpster fire he is but i csnt help hoping I can still show him who is really being victimized and Black Lives Matter. I got a really good opportunity to throw something in his face yesterday when I found a video of some white police pepper spraying and beating a black CHILD for no reason. He never responded but I think I really made him think . I'll post again if he comes to me saying I really made him think and stop being racist
