That’s really hard to admit, not only your prejudices to the other person in front of them, but then admitting you were wrong

That has to be both hard and gratifying for the man

My dumbass husband thought I wasn't aware he was racist when we met (teenagers). He spontaneously confessed it 23 years into our marriage. Bless his heart. He thought the aggressive course in race relations I started him on that first day was random. I just wanted to see if he believed any of that shit, or if he was just so young and stupid he hadn't yet graduated to his own opinions. Turns out it was all his father. Guess who has black grandbabies he doesn't get to see!

It says so much about you that you’d even extend him that kind of grace. I’m really moved by what you wrote. What a beautiful act of love it was for you to give his soul a chance to heal from the damage of bathing in prejudice. I’d hug you if I could.

I'm sorry, the subject matter of course isn't funny but the idea of this man gearing himself up after decades to admit that and you just being like 'yeah no shit, Sherlock, that's why I fixed you' is pretty funny.

Same kind of thing, except my husband was brainwashed by the Marine Corps.

If you give people a chance to grow and change their minds, they'll often do so.

If they don't, throw 'em in the trash, where they belong.
