My brother's political views are troubling to me. Nothing like full on Naziism, but more so nationalist. He wants the US to go back to how it originally was. There's a lot of reasons I disagree, but the main reason is because that's white supremacy. While I don't think he's a neo-Nazi, I think he identifies with certain ideologies and has a lot of racial prejudices. <br><br>We had a few fights politically in the past. He once said that he doesn't like the term "people of color" because black people aren't people of color. They're black. People of color are people who aren't white but not black like hispanics and asians. I explained to him how that's racial prejudice, but he just said he has nothing against them. He just has nothing in common with them and doesn't want to be lumped in with them.<br><br>I have my brother blocked on all my social media. He knows that. I made my instagram private and only allow people I know to follow me. There's only 3 people who follow me that I don't know personally, they just look at my photos and like them. <br><br>I have a tradition at my house of every Sunday, I'll pick out a few photos from the week and post them on my instagram and show my children. This is called Sunday Memories. My kids love it and so do I. <br><br>Today, my brother texted me and said that he's been stalking my instagram and he's not happy about Sunday Memories. He said that he joined instagram solely because I have him blocked and he wants to find out what I'm posting. While I never saw this, he said he's been watching my instagram for 6 months now and there's a lot of photos with black people in them. He said that I shouldn't be glorifying black people in front of my children.<br><br>I was taken aback, but not surprised that he would think that. He just saw this as me trying to make my kids like black people. In reality, the black people in the photos are just friends of mine and they're in the photos because they're the people we were hanging out with that day. He didn't understand that. I told him that I wasn't glorifying black people or anything like that. But to him, I was. He said that my children shouldn't be subjected to this because it's not right and I shouldn't be teaching them that black people are better than white people. <br><br>I told him that my children are never going to be around him because of his bigoted views and the fact that he went behind my back and stalked me. I said I don't want my children to have anything to do with him because I don't want them to adopt his hateful views. He called me a snowflake and a racial traitor.
