No, but I am very grateful that other people did not cut me out of their lives when I displayed bigoted or incorrect views in the past. See my post a few pages back.

Have you cut ties with people who were in your life due to the fact that when presented with proof they are being racist, that their opinion is not backed up by any evidence and is hurting people they jump through hoops, gaslight, lie and deflect from the real issue so that they can keep their ego intact?
I haven't needed to (thank fuck), but you might find this post from a couple of days ago interesting: https://captainawkward.com/2020/06/05/1272-white-family-facebook-drama-over-police-racism/ - it's US-centric but there are some interesting insights there.
@chokalateboywonder thanks for posting this thread. Obviously I don't need to tell you it's very necessary. I'm glad you did it.
@BigH your 3am post about identifying as a Londoner outside of accepting a national identity was really interesting! I think it makes a lot of sense.

Not sure if this is the place for this, however maybe some one here is having the same issue with racist friends/family or colleagues who seem to be coming out of the woodwork over the last few weeks.
