I Hate Bigots

I guess that makes me a bigot too?

Since all of my time will be tied up in December by either caring for GG or in dialysis - so I took mother shopping!
(I will explain about GG tomorrow.)

Mother of course was in rare form!
She decided to finally read my Spencer Family history, 20 years after I gave it to her.
And, then, only because her brother told her that I said their grandfather was black.
Given that both of them are outright ugly bigots - she exploded all over me!

Back home, I dug out my copy of the book and tried to see her viewpoint.
Of course, the only reference to anyone being non-white was in a section discussing the problem of relying on the Mormon data records.
They have an error where they took the name of mother's great-grandfater, born in Kentucky and confused him with a man born in Alabama!
Same name, same dates, same children!
But, one is non-white.
And I only know this because I ran down a picture of him!

Fine by me.
I have no bigoted bones in my body.
But, good Lord, my mother!

So, I read the section to her and pointed out that in English, she is transliterating, not reading the text.
KABOOM!
How dare I correct her?!!!!!!?

So, she is going off to the local Morman library to see whom can correct this error.
What-ever .....

It just sickens me that people in this culture are so separatist leaning.

Of course she was born into a Latter Day Saint missionary family.
So they should have lots of documents already.
I told it her it is only an entry error.
But OH NO!
He is not black!
And that is the point .......

Did I ever mention that she is quite insane?
