Wrong! I grew up until 4th grade in an all black school except me and my brother. We were picked on for being white. But then we moved out to the burbs and realized that whites were assholes and prejudice too. We were the only Greeks in my highschool.
And most of these racist whites never even met a black person. Yet they were more prejudice than I was. I lived with blacks.
I guess I learned early that there are assholes in every color.
I've lived among black people all my life. Most of the time in primarily or even excusively black neighborhoods.
NOW, that would be impossible. I have learned over the years that until proven otherwise, not to trust a single one of them. You never know who, or when, one of them is going to go off. I am now extremely apprehensive around black people and no longer just assume that they are going to be nice friendly people.
Oh and we were picked on big time for being white. Especially on Roots week where they played it in my classroom. And the black teachers would even pick on me or turn a blind eye. But I also learned black history and kind of understood their anger. I understood why the old black father in 1975 might not allow a white boy in his house, which happened to my brother who was just going to a classmates birthday party.
But then I saw the urban flight. I saw it first hand. Saw all the good jobs go and the property values with them. Hope that doesn't happen to my area now.
The black kids in the neighborhood threw a party as we were leaving. I remember crying.
But the white kids weren't much nicer. It was just easier to fit in. Find a gang of my own. Man public schools are a lot like prisons, huh? Some are better than others of course. I went from a max prison to a minimum security prison when I moved to the white neighborhood. Private schools are the country club prisons.
