So, you really didn't extend an olive branch? Only a qualified, conditional outreach.... IF he had somehow now become a different person that you would approve of.
Love isn't "IF you become what I want, I will consider magnanimously bestowing recognition upon you." Love is, "Yeah, you're still the same screw-up you have always been, but I want to help you in that pain you live with."

Will pray you and your step brother reconnect. All people are sociopaths until God touches their lives and heart.
Maybe you can plant the Gospel seed message in his life.

Jesus doesn't always ask for us to go into a situation where we have to be buddies with the Enemy and learn their hurts and trials.
This happened in the workplace. Its a workplace issue and the,bosses should be made aware because if the customers had heard him, it would have been a lawsuit.
If he keeps the job, his black co-workers can show Christian love and that will do more than allowing him to think it's okay to insult and degrade blacks. If he doesn't adjust his attitude, He will continue to be abrasive....only thing that can change it is if those he insults show him love beyond what is expected and pray with him.
It's a twisted world when the person standing up for respect gets told he is unloving and the racist gets all the compassion. So much so that the story gets rewritten to take place at a football game.

This is kinda off topic but since you mentioned it the DSM I will elaborate a bit. I actually have read parts of the DSM. As a child I was diagnosed with ADHD and I still deal with it now. Also I have certain traits on the autism spectrum.
1Difficulty maintaining eye contact during a conversation
2. Strict adherence to routine. If my routine is interrupted in the slightest I'll become extremely irritated
2. Vocal tics
3. If I am working on one particular task, then in my mind that task is more important than anything else that's going on around me. I don't care if the house is on fire, don't interrupt me. Having to leave one task unfinished to do something else causes me a great deal of anxiety... so yes I am indeed familiar with the DSM

forgive as Christ in God has forgiven you
that is what I do...does not mean you have to raise his children
another thing, from your posts, I do not think you are qualified to say someone is a sociopath
anyone I know, including me, myself and I, with more than a passing interest in the mind, would be interested in what makes the other person tick
you don't get the gospel if you think you just kick people out of your way and judge them as you have done
yeah, that's harsh, but been there, done that
and believe me, what goes around DOES come around
you are a racist yourself
we all are in one way or another
me? I HATE liars and can usually spot 'em a mile away
no worries...you can continue on or obey the scriptures and forgive
I have had way more to forgive then what you describe...it can be a process...I suggest you begin at your earliest possible convenience

Not sure how disturbing or destructive when it provides an accurate diagnosis. Too many folks say "ohh I'm depressed" when depression is more than just feeling sad. Or those same folks use the word bipolar when someone flies off the handle, when in reality bipolar disorder is more than just that. The DSMbefore, actually, is a tool to educate people and provide an accurate diagnosis.
no... but when you have been in a relationship with someone who is bipolar you know the behavior to look for.
1. Severe ups and downs
2. Constant mood swings
3. Fabricated allegations.. flight when my ex girlfriend accused her dad of molesting her son... but the person who is bipolar will believe that the incident happened despite the fact that it did not
4. Compulsive Behavior..
5 emotional abuse. One minute you're the best thing that ever happened to her in the next minute she can't stand you
6. Alienating others who are close to you. They will try to convince you that they are the only person who loves you and that everyone else is out to get you.
Being in this type of relationship is emotionally exhausting
