My great grandmother ( who identifies as Trinidadian and African American) is VERY racist unfortunatly. She is also against any sexual orientation that is not straight and she believes premarital sex is all wrong.<br /><br />Gay marriage rights being passed just recently is an example of how privilege ties to sexual orientation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054084121690965825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638459499591763295.post-47251191334039473242015-09-26T16:43:04.984-07:002015-09-26T16:43:04.984-07:00I can relate to this in a similar way as well.

When my grandfather saw that my sister was spending time with people of much darker skin, it drove him nuts. One time he was visiting, my sister brought home a friend who was not white. My grandfather saw him, my grandfather's eye bugged out of their sockets. He just could not image his granddaughter was spending time with people who were not white. It does make for a difficlut time. However, your grandmother and my grandfather were brought up in a completely different time where they were taught that people of color are less than people that are considered "white".Emma Holmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018876504213271712noreply@blogger.com
