I just realized that my mother is racist. She let her true feelings show when my dad married an African American woman. She says some of the most awful things about his new wife and her ethnicity. I never heard mom talk this way before. At first I thought that my mother was hurt that my dad was moving on. But I don’t think that is the case considering that she left my dad for the guy that she is married to now and their relationship has always been amicable. I am hurt because I always thought my mother was a good person. I had no idea that felt this way towards other people.
