I hope this is in the right place. Anyways, myself and some AA friends always go out to dinner before a meeting once a week and make an effort to invite as many other AAers as possible. One person who has been coming is a big-time racist, something we were oblvious of until he started ranting about segregation and interracial marriage. What mitigates his behavior somewhat is that he is incredibly socially awkward and seems to have some kind of mental disorder or maybe just damage from drug use. Not really sure as I am not a psychiatrist.
My group is divided as to whether we should continue to invite him or not. I tend to think we shouldn't on an emotional level but in terms of what is right to do in the AA context that we should continue too. He doesn't seem to do much fellowship at all and seems to enjoy going to dinner with us. But it has become incredibly awkward for the rest of us. I was just wondering what your thoughts would be about what the "right" thing to do would be in this situation? To continue inviting him or blowing him off or what. He doesn't seem to understand why his views would be unacceptable to us which is maybe the most troubling aspect of it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.
