    My mother once answered the door to some Jehovah’s Witnesses on her knees and brandishing a huge pair of upholstery scissors (she was trimming a bit of carpet).

    Their faith was clearly tested and I can only assume they failed the test since they hummed and hawwed and said something about coming back later but never did.

    The past couple years alone I have had to deal with Mormon missionaries coming in my neighborhood and I absolutely feel uncomfortable in a way. Every time I see them anymore I make sure to do everything in my power to avoid them. Even though I’m a straight white male, I’m not interested in what you’re trying to sell nor do I wanna be rude and tell them off because I just had to be raised “right”.

    Though I think the occurrences might be going down here due to an increase in Middle Easterners and such in the apartment complex I live in, so I’m absolutely glad they’re here (even if it’s for a selfish reason).

    Last time these guys knocked n my door we had a threesome after I made sure they were legal age.

    The religiously repressed are kinky as fuck.

    I showed my mom Star Trek Discovery because we used to watch TNG when I was a kid. There is a scene where Stamets and his partner are in the bathroom brushing their teeth and talking. It takes a moment, but my mom catches on, and she yells, “Why are they in my Star Trek?” And then grabs her keys and gets into her car and drives off.

    I’m not going to be sad when she dies.

      Ya know, Star Trek, the famously conservative show which showed the first interracial kiss on TV in the 60ties.

      She sounds like a cunt. “My” Star Trek is always inclusive like from the start. Dunno what she was watching.

        You nailed it. My first girlfriend was black. My mom freaked out because she thought I was going to give her “mixed” grandbabies. I was 10. I’ve tried over the years, and I’ve seen improvement, but she’s 70 this year and I’m running out of effort. She’s going to die miserable and hateful and the world will be better when she’s gone.

          I think it was around the time of the Lord of the Rings movies, and my grandma had a similar freak out when I mentioned my crush on Elijah Wood. She said, “I don’t want any black grandbabies!” She just assumed he was black and that her young grandchild somehow had any chance of making babies with a much older movie star. Joke’s on her though, I’m not giving her any grandbabies.

          That’s rough fam, I’m sorry it’s like that for you.

          I lost my mom a few years back, she wasn’t hateful, just an alcoholic… so I understand the sentiment. My life and my sister’s both got a lot easier in a lot of ways. Which ofc I still feel kinda guilty over.

          I dunno what I’m saying other than I sympathize 💜

          Look, I respect she’s your mum but what the fuck.

          Im Maori, wife white AF - gets sunburn walking infront of a bright TV level white. If anyone has a problem with our 3 “mixed” kids in front of her, let’s just say she will hold nothing back.

          Mixed babies… Like who the fuck cares? God I hate it so much because it’s just DUMB. Like morally and ethically horrible too obviously but it just doesn’t logically make sense either. A stagnant gene pool isn’t helping anyone Mildred.

          I’m sorry you had to deal with that

            It’s that good ol’ southern baptist love, you know.

            As a white cis male I’ve had it and will continue to have it much easier than a lot of other people, just by virtue of genetics. I don’t see it as something I’ve had to deal with, more something that has shown be how to be better than I could have been.
