Topic: I'm an African-American teen and my parents disowned me for being a Trump Supporter
Anonymous A started this discussion 7 years ago #82,318
This is my first foray into the Minichan-verse because I never really felt like I needed this community until now. On Christmas, I was unfairly attacked and questioned by my relatives calling me a "Sellout", "coon" and "uncle Tom" because I have and continue to, vocally support Trump. I'm an 18 year old african-american gay Republican and I embrace ALL freethinkers. I guess I'm coming here to rant and put feelers out to see who else has experienced this sort of bullshit and fucked up way of thinking and what you did to overcome this? Not only am I hurt that my family seems content with playing victim and weakening the narrative of african-american people thinking for ourselves. Yes, slavery was a tragic and horrific thing. Is it still happening? No. Have we made progress up until this point by being accepted into various sectors of employment and education, including having the very first african-american president? YES.
The point is, at the moment I'm not sure what I should do or where I should go since I'm visiting for Christmas break and my parents were supposed to buy my ticket back to college on the 3rd. But of course that's not happening....It just, boggles my mind how people who claim to for reparations and prison abolishment would turn their own flesh and blood onto the streets during the holidays and basically disown them all because of a difference of opinion.
If you've been through this before, what helped you get through it? How did you find a community or place to belong because I'm feeling pretty alone and desperate right now.

This kind of trolling is so 2018. You should really be coming up with new stuff for next year.
