*so let me start with stating why I started this thread. While reading the news on Trump and his potty mouth, I came upon a story about the show 'The Real'. A diverse group of women ala 'The View'. They are all women of color of some sort, Puerto Rican, Asian and black. One of the hosts also hosts the Miss USA pageant. She stated that she would not resign from that. Her other hosts/friends took to social media to express their dismay. Pretty much this:
Girl, how can you work for a man who said that about my people?!
So the hosts eventually changed her mind.
So now we are caught up.
Questions for the forum:
~How do you handle not only having different opinions on important matters from your friends, but also that have actions attached to those opinions?
(my friend is Mexican, but I'm voting for Trump. My friend is African American, but I'm going to fly my Confederate car flag) Stuff like that.
~What are the opinions of others you will NOT tolerate in friends? Have you found out later something about a friend's belief and nixed them out of your life? And did you talk to that friend about it or just slowly stop communication?
This isn't about people having different opinions here. I'm talking about those opinions moving into the realm of your day to day actions. We all know everyone gets to believe different then us. But what do you do when their actions go against the very nature of who you are? Do you allow it? Do you attempt to teach them? Do you walk away?
