I remember my kindergarden principle and teachers were both white. By 2nd grade the school was all black run and all the students except 3 of us were all black. The black teachers were clearly racist. My mother worked at the school and witnessed it. I can tell you black parents turned away my brother from their kids birthday party because "no honkey is ever gonna step foot in my home". Now that guys old or dead by now, but how many blacks carry that chip?How did you experience racism in a school that wasnt run by the kids? I think you meant you experienced some racist incidents. You can afford to have empathy. You can pass for white and are subject to white privilege.I was 1 of 3 whites in an all black school and I experienced a lot of racism but I don't hate blacks. I now have empathy for them.BS. My wife and brother in law were raised in a wealthy white neighborhood. They experienced racism that wouldnt have occurred had it been more diverse. They were literally 1 of 2 Black families in the school. Both cant stand white people to this day.Blackish also shows white people if you raise black kids in the white suburbs they won't grow up with a chip on their shoulder. They won't know racism.Blackish is a tv show not real life. Maybe white guys should watch it and get braver?Blackish is addressing the shit we talk about. The dad is realizing that white people don't fear you anymore. The wife made him wave to the white neighbors and wear the same sneakers 2 days in a row. Lol
And I remember in the 80s I'm sure the one black kid in our school experienced racism but today it's not that bad. I learned this on blackish. Lol
I know what you mean but I think you know I got a dose of what it feels like to be the only black in an all white school, or company. And we were taught why blacks were angry so we were never as racist as the whites in the suburbs were and they had never even experienced a black person. So why were they more racist than me when I was picked on by blacks for 5 years? I always told myself racist is based in ignorance. The kids who never even met a black before were the most racist.
But then I could say I've had my run in's with blacks and maybe a lot of the reasons I am racist about blacks is because of my experiences with blacks. And the news we here everyday which I don't even want to hear you deny exists. When white high school drop out rate is 10% and black is 25%, that's a problem. Trump said it's 50% and that's wrong but still 25% is too high.
Today I heard a story about a woman who got an abortion at 17 and then went off to college and became something, then went back to visit the neighborhood she grew up in and she saw all the women who didn't get abortions and who got stuck in that life of poverty because they had kids before they could afford to or before they made something of themselves. I really think abortion is the answer for women who are 18 years old and don't have a career or a man to help raise the kid. I think our society would be much better if every young women who has sex would keep the morning after pill in their medicine cabinet.
