Wow congrats! It sounds like a lot of hard work but so amazing they fast stamped your application like that! Great job!
Not in the way he'd go march with them, but as an armchair social media nerd who can't distinguish between Charolettesvilles tiki torch marchers, gun wielding protestors at state capitols, and peaceful protestors protesting racial injustice. He basically insisted if one is ok, they all should be ok. He draws the line at looters and rioters and insists they need to be put down immediately. He insists black people aren't really being oppressed as much as they say they are. He also started spewing a bunch of right-wing talking points that I don't want to get into here.

I tried to explain to him no one is cheering violence, but as he is focusing on a very small percentage of extremists then blanket statements like that obscure the importance of the protests. I also tried to point out his privilege allows him to make these statements. Just because he doesn't see police violence and injustice on black and brown people doesn't mean it's not happening.

Instead of addressing his privilege, he reiterated that peaceful protests are fine but any sort of violence or looting is bad and must be stopped immediately. Then he said that if that point of view makes him an extremist, then he's an extremist. He completely missed my point. I know I'm not the best to speak about this issue but I feel like I should try even if it's to my own brother who doesnt seem to hear what he doesn't want to hear.
I've taken it too. Is there somewhere you can file a complaint?

Unfortunately my sister who is a lawyer said that would be too difficult since my cousin and his wife live downstairs from me and grandma. There would have to be exceptions that say "except at home" which is basically it.

Too bad. He's nuts.

The latest incident involved him swearing at my mom because I guess I dropped kleenex (that fell out of the car onto the ground near the driveway) ??? Note that he didn't tell me, instead he texted my mom a long a$$ text message and he ended the text message with "On behalf on my wife and I, F&$@ you Aunty." (Except spelt out).

Hmmmm, crazy.
