9:35Now PlayingAubrey Perry recently discovered her parents were white supremacist Trump trolls. She publicly posted screen grabs of the hate speech to let the world know. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Perry says that she never uses Twitter, but was disturbed by what she found when she visited her mother’s account. “Hateful memes, ugly language, and appearance-based attacks, targeted at Hillary Clinton, stacked up,” Perry wrote. “And not just hateful, but off-topic and malicious calling Hillary ‘ugly,’ ‘old’ and ‘screechy.’ An ‘unlikeable old bag. The ‘woman card’ stinks!’ my mother wrote. My mother! A college instructor! She should know better. She’s no internet troll. Is she?”...
“I was overwhelmed with shame for my years of silence for not opposing her ideologies sooner,” Perry writes. “Look where it got me. Look where it got my family. Look where it got us as a nation, a country of closet racists and enablers.”
That’s when she took to Facebook, posting screen grabs, videos and stories of her family, calling them out for how disgusting she felt they were. “I wrote about the way my mother talked at home about her Mexican students, the contempt she had for them, and the derogatory terms she used to describe them,” Perry tells.
Perry’s mother blocked her on all social media and has stopped talking to her online entirely. She says that her father did the same years ago but that he continues to email her.”*
