I've been through the same thing Classymom. My ex husband used to have those moments. He has some racism running through him, and there were times it used to come out. It's the one thing I will not tolerate, especially with an impressionable child around. It's a huge part of the reason we're no longer together, even though we are now on quite friendly terms.
He spends a fair amount of time at my home visiting our daughter (that way I can supervise, lol) and on occasion when he's in one of those moods, it will rear its ugly head again. And same as you, I tell him it's time to leave, it's my house and I won't tolerate that stuff in my house.
Most ironic part of it is.....he thinks Obama is the greatest thing he has ever seen or heard. He has followed this election from the start, and I swear to God I saw a tear in his eye after Obama's DNC speech. I know he's holding out great hope for him, to do some good. I also like the man, but don't believe that he's a savior or anything. I just think he's a good man basically, and honestly I see sincerity in him. I'm also a realist, and know that he is still a politician, lol.
The point of it is...if Obama can win over someone as jaded as my ex...there is hope for all of us. I have to believe that.
