WAG? Who was arrested? Your cousins and their friends or adults?I remember like 40 years ago going to my aunt and uncle's and all the adults had WAYYYY too much to drink. My male cousins and their friends started insulting each other's WAG's in pretty crass terms. A melee broke out, people were arrested, and there were even folks taken away by ambulance and hospitalized. Good times.
Wives and girlfriends. My cousins and some of their friends all got into a fight. Those that were left standing were carted away in handcuffs. IIRC, one of them got hit in the face with a bottle and needed 80 or 100 stitches to see him back up. A couple of them ended up doing time.WAG? Who was arrested?

I ate about a pound of Salami already. My kids are fighting a little, but all things considered it's been ok.
There is a dark cloud hanging over our Thanksgiving and everyone is sad. It feels like an after funeral get together more then anything. The weather is dark and overcast which isn't helping. Depression is setting in. At least there are no Republicans invited to push us over the edge.
We're going to need the TurkeyCam on this one.My racist family is all getting together again. Except the San Francisco liberal cousin (youngest male of the cousins) is finally getting married this weekend (to a woman, to everyone's surprise) as well, so Thanksgiving consists of:
1. Me, wife
2. My dad/stepmom
3. Stepmom's family which is even more racist than she is
4. Dad's family which is slightly less racist but uses the n word in casual conversation
5. Cousin who is super liberal
6. Cousin's fiancée no one has met before
7. Fiancee's family
8. Cousin and fiancée's friends from San Francisco
I'm sure everything will be fine. Oh, and fiancée and her family are black.
Last year my brother got an erection at the dinner table then started masturbating in front of our entire family - at the dinner table. Needless to say he won't be drinking again this year.
Dad's family all apparently agreed on a term to use other than the n word. All have been referring to "the blacks" so far, I think to not offend anyone. Cousin/fiancée/her family/stepmom's family have not arrived.We're going to need the TurkeyCam on this one.

Stepmom's family is uncomfortably refusing to acknowledge that cousin's fiancée and family are a different race or that it weirds them out.What do "they" say??
Sounds like the setup for a Mike Leigh movie.Stepmom's family is uncomfortably refusing to acknowledge that cousin's fiancée and family are a different race or that it weirds them out.

Uncomfortable discussions overheard so far:
1. Race-based casting decisions in Hamilton;
2. "What do you all think of Black Lives Matter?"
3. "He was living in San Francisco, single, over 40, and we'd never met her. We're just glad she isn't a man. I thought maybe I was going to a gay marriage this weekend." (Continuing conversation included the speaker indicating he had brought an athletic supporter in the car so no one would grope him)
4. (Friend to groom): "Are you sure you're related to these people?"
What should they say?Stepmom's family is uncomfortably refusing to acknowledge that cousin's fiancée and family are a different race or that it weirds them out.
JFCWhat should they say?
Hi. Nice to meet you. Heard so much about you but not that you are sooooo black.
Um, saying, essentially:Wtf? You need to acknowledge the race of others.
"So, tell me about (cousin's) fiancée! Which person is she?"What should they say?
Hi. Nice to meet you. Heard so much about you but not that you are sooooo black.
"So, tell me about (cousin's) fiancée! Which person is she?"
"Well, she's about 5'5", dark hair, brown eyes, standing next to (cousin)"
"The black woman?"
"Oh, I guess..."
