Redditor Gets Vengeance On Her Racist And Hateful Great-Grandma By Spreading Her "Secret" Cheesecake Recipe All Over The Internet
"She swore she was taking it to her grave"
Frequently, a racist family member is portrayed in holiday films, upsetting or unsettling the other diners with their crude and inappropriate comments. Regrettably, many of us can identify with this because it's a prevalent stereotype.
Many of us have witnessed relatives acting or speaking in a racist manner on a regular basis. You might experience a wide range of difficult feelings, including annoyance, anger, fear, uncertainty, upset, and disappointment when a loved one behaves in a racist way.
You may also be unsure of what to do or say. You will undoubtedly think that a family member saying something racist is a significant enough problem to take action against, even if you don't consider yourself anti-racist and don't encounter racism regularly in your everyday life.
The narrator of today's story discussed her great-grandmother, whom she referred to as the most racist, hateful, and disgusting person she has ever met. The OP went further to add more shocking information, saying:
She was mean as hell all the time, always had to have the best in everything, and treated us poorly for trivial reasons. This evil woman died because she would not accept a blood transfusion in case it contained a black person's blood.
Not only that, OP's great-grandma had the most delicious mocha cheesecake recipe ever, and she swore she was taking it to her grave. Well, things didn't go according to her plans, as the recipe was found and has now been spread all over the internet.

Revenge as a Response
Seeking revenge, especially in familial contexts, can be understood through the lens of emotional regulation. Dr. Jennifer Thompson, a psychologist specializing in family dynamics, suggests that revenge often arises from feelings of hurt and betrayal, leading individuals to seek retribution as a way to regain control.
This behavior can be a double-edged sword; while it may provide temporary satisfaction, it often exacerbates underlying issues and perpetuates cycles of conflict.

Research in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology indicates that revenge can lead to a short-lived sense of empowerment but ultimately leaves individuals feeling more isolated and unfulfilled. In the case of the Redditor, sharing the grandmother's cheesecake recipe may provide a moment of satisfaction but does not address the core issues of hurt and prejudice.
Understanding the motivations behind such actions is crucial for healing and moving forward.

This Redditor reveals the reasons
The reason older women won't share their recipes is that women's only value used to be as wives and mothers. So if you were a better wife than the other ladies, you would be more valuable to your husband. That type of thinking teaches you to be jealous of and in competition with other women.The other reason they won't share is that it's usually a "doctored up" box cake mix recipe, and they are embarrassed about that, or it's a recipe off the back of the box, like this one is.All the thanks to OP
