Ocoee 1920 - "The bloodiest election in modern American history”
Was when a group a African-American land owners tried to vote, but a certain racist white group stopped them at the polls.
In Ocoee the Klan began threatening the Black community three weeks before the 1920 election, claiming that “not a single Negro would be permitted to vote.” Moreover, the Florida Klan’s grand master sent a letter to two local Republican officials, threatening to retaliate if Black and white officials continued instructing local African Americans on how to cast ballots and pay poll taxes. “We shall always enjoy WHITE SUPREMACY in this country,” the letter read, “and he who interferes must face the consequences.”
After some African American men still tried to vote, got turned away, then came back later to get the suppressors names like an Orlando judge advised them to do, the white people went full KKK and started killing up to 60 African-Americans and burning thier prominent buildings. The deceased had their bodies torn apart for 'trophies'. The surviving African-Americans were forced out if they didnt leave on thier own will
The one upside is 2 Klan members were killed during.
Eh. As an adult I get to fully choose which side I'm on. And going off of the facts I had at the time, id choose the side of not being with a cheating power abuser
But since more facts have been stated besides just i dont feel like it, its easier to pick a diffrent side.
I see where you're coming from. And I'm sorry that happened to you. Truly.
But OP only stated they dont want to go because well, it didn't really effect them so why bother? So maybe I took this all wrong and I'm sorry if I did.
But for OP to be so dismissive of his mother's feeling because he wants to continue hanging out with his dad is choosing a side.
Like, OP isn't saying that mom says i have to move out but she's never really been there for me. Or she makes bad decisions. Or some other reason would have me way more supportive. Just, I like hanging with my dad cause we're best friends
But the dad is clearly not the best role model as he makes bad choices. He didn't sleep with some random women. He didn't sleep with one of his equal power co workers.
He slept with his young assistant. Which is not only shitty for the cheating reasons, but that's literally abuse of power. Then as soon as the mom left, before the divorce is final, he moved her into the home which once house OPs family as if its no big deal
And OP acts like its nothingl and the mom is actually the bad person for feeling hurt.
The question could have been how do I tell my mom I still would like to have a relationship with my father after all this went down. But no. This whole question was looking for validation to not actually have to go with his mom for selfish reasons.
Yes, cause letting your child not only live with a cheater but the young ASSISTANT he fucked while still going through with your divorce is such a good move.
The dad obviously doesn't make good choices. He's only thinking about himself. And the child already thinks theyre the greatest.
Im not saying parents should never talk to their kids. But thats what's going to happen if OP stays in the house with is dad and his YOUNG ASSISTANT THAT MOVED IN BEFORE THE DIVORCE SHE CAUSED IS EVEN FINAL
Hey, that person isn't a good role model and did something absolutly deplorable. For whats best for you, you shouldnt talk to them again or else I fear your going to look up to them and also consider doing that in the future. And thats the last thing I want for you. That person needs to understand there are consequences for their actions.
Seems like a reasonable to say to your child
Maybe add in a maybe if they really clean up their actions you can talk to them later, but the divorce is literally still happening as well as the side chick having already moved in
