Just walked out on wife over racist argument

At mother-in-law's who is very sick. We go there nearly every day to care for her. Talking about a white rapper who uses the N-word in his 'song's and how dangerous black folk are supposed to be. He"s dating my niece, who loves Trump. I said the rapper was racist. Wife tells me he's not and it"s not racist for white rappers to do that. Says I don't understand young people and don't even know the guy. Mother-in-law says she would be ashamed if her granddaughter ever dated a black man. Wife yells at me when I say mother-in-law is racist. Says she's an old lady. I walk out. Wife called. She's picking me up soon. Just downing a Guinness.

with her choices and all I could think to say to her was "I didn't know you were a racist." And then I walked away. Another friend bites the dust --- and good riddens!
