Today, I asked my parents whom they voted for in the primaries. They said Clinton. I asked why not Obama?

My dad answered, "You think I would vote for someone called Hussein?"

...

Are you fucking shitting me?

Then they both told me they don't think someone "of that race" should be President. "It gives a bad image to America"

this is translated from Polish to the best of my ability.

i always knew they were racists but I didn't think when I asked them "why don't you vote for Obama" that my dad would answer with "BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. This is a country of WHITE PEOPLE."

i wish i was making this up

the right answer is to just never talk about anything social/political with them ever ever again and just try to forget that they have awful, reprehensible beliefs concerning race.

yeah, I actually figured this out the last time I tried talking to them about homosexuality

it just isn't worth it to piss my parents off for the few days I'm visiting them away from school

i'd say it would be a decent move to try and show them how wrong they are at some point down the line

when your livelihood isn't dependent on them

Not that it matters (because religion doesn't dictate who you vote for) but it's funny seeing all these people hate Obama cause they think he is a Muslim.

heh I've even heard that as a reason not to vote for him at my school

(then again if you aren't a republican at my school you're pretty much affiliated with the devil)

while i agree with you, most conservatives are opposed to stem-cell research based on religious grounds

they aren't against researching stem cells they're against killing embryos

and please don't bring this shit into the topic I don't want to have to read it

edit: on another note there is no good way to refer to that guy, even if you abbreviate his name it comes out as MEH

The vast majority of religious conservatives aren't really bad people, they are just very dumb people who are conned by the right into believing that gays, mexicans, and liberals are a danger to them, and go against the will of god. In reality it is the right that I am pretty sure go against scripture the most. Kindness, forgiveness and not being judgemental are much more important and prominent in the bible than one or two out of context passages about homosexuality.

hey that's just my two cents as a very liberal catholic
