Nazis & Narcs

I am really passionate about social justice. I read and write a lot about it online, and I participate in protests in my city.

Lately, I feel very triggered by the trend of people saying, "If you don't call out your racist/sexist family member, you're the problem." I come from a family of racist narc jerks, and I CAN'T call them out. I have tried. It always results in a huge fight, and then I get accused of starting arguments. It's kind of like when advice columnists say, "Tell so-and-so that their behavior bothers you." You don't think they've TRIED that? Anyway, due to other dysfunction issues, I rarely speak to my family members now, and it's painful to be reminded that I can't.

Notes: I remove myself from the trigger when I see it, so don't worry about that. I also purposely didn't post this in response to any specific person making this comment so as not to attack them nor detract from the rest of their message.
