Get with the times.

So yesterday I was texting Michael, and we were on the subject of his stepmom and how closeminded she is. I told Michael that she needs to get with the times because people are changing and being ignorant and close minded isnt as common as you might think now a days.
This then came to the subject that even my uncle isn't as closeminded as he used to be.
So let me just fill you in, my uncle hates basically everyone. He's not really a people person. He doesn't like just about every other race besides white, being black is the exception though, he doesnt relaly have a problem, with them, but still. He makes rude comments about other races all the time and its like it doesn't matter to him, but lately my uncle's been changing, and im really happy. He's been being a lot nicer to everyone and i havent heard him say a racist comment in a while. Oh and to top it off, he's reconnected to his old friend, who turns out to be GAY now. Yes, Gay, and thats really funny seeing as my uncle hates gay people but him and this guy are like BFF's now, always talking and hanging out, and drinking beer.
I mean, my uncles always been tolerant of gay people, like my moms gay friends, or whenever michael was mentioned or when he was over, but now i think my uncle has finally learned not to care, and to just let people live how they want to live, and i must say i'm proud.

Idk. I'm just saying that if my uncle can open up his mind, there is hope for anyone else too open up theirs also.
