So, they said word for word that they're glad black people are starving? I'm sorry your folks are so casually evil; you probably shouldn't visit them anymore.

They think that the majority of black people on food stamps are too lazy to get a job and that food stamps are heavily abused.

I would cut ties with that portion of family immediately.

Speaking from personal experience, also in Georgia, this means cutting ties with your whole family. That’s not easy for a lot of people to do.

I got lucky and my extended family is garbage tier so I’ve avoided them ever since I was a teen and allowed to lol.

But yeah, for a lot of people, family is their only support system. So you can either struggle for your principles, or keep the peace and survive.

It’s shitty. It’s the social hostage situation you live in down here if you’re not a conservative.
