It makes money, can be sold for money, or can be written off for tax credits (basically money)

I feel like there’s different levels of racism that need to be named or they just fall under the umbrella term racist and their severity gets lost and becomes a defense. Like there is oblivious racist (not intending to be racist, but doesn’t know better), to casual racist (likes stereotype jokes), to believing racist (believes in stereotypes), to supremacists racist (believes in race superiority), to supremacists activists (takes actions against other races) and probably more in-between levels.

Like a casual racist would consider supremacists racism to be bad, but their jokes are “harmless” (in their opinion). So when we say there is a problem with racism, they ignore it because they don’t see a problem with their racism, (but they would have problems with supremacists racism).

In this image, the supremacists activists racists are recognizing that he was not activists enough for them.

I wouldn’t say it a true work-around, but my father has told us he will not do anything we *demand* of him, but if we make a *request* which he can turn down, he will usually be okay with doing the task. He likes being helpful and appreciated. A “request” from authority or with consequences if he turns it down, does not count.

This may not work for everyone, but it works for our family. And it only works because he’s old enough to be near the top of family/social authority. He was a rebellious son and there was no workaround for him to obey his parents.
