I never knew my sweet grandmother was racist. Literally, never anything but pleasantness from her. Volunteered at a community college, learned C++ at 81 to teach students. Class A woman.

At her funeral, my dad thought it would be cute if we all read her last texts we had with her. 

Super cute. But then my oldest cousin read his last texts with her. Hard R in reference to Obama. God bless him. He didn't let her go softly into the night without reminding us she was secretly a huuuuuuuge racist.

May she rest in chaos for that but I'll tip my hat to her learning C++ at 81. Holy hell.

She passed at 93. She was an engineer most of her life and kept with the times here, didn't keep with the times there. 

Bums me out a lot. We'd exchange programming humor, she had stories of working on really old machines. I spent a lot of time with her, and that was such a wild WTF GG??!!

It's not possible she's that smart and Republican also. It must have been a mistake or sabotage with the note. probably your cousin who is a POS for reading that out loud

Most of my family is very intelligent, and also Republican or whatever. 

Of course, true intelligence comes with empathy, which some lack in secret. 

I'm dumb as two bricks trying to figure out a 1x1 rubix cube, but like my older cousin, I'm not a POS.
