Yeah..................sure...............tell me how much they've fixed racism. Sorry, but a lot of white people are still pretty racist.
A lot of black people are still pretty racist too.
What's your point?
You're right...............there ARE black people who are racist as well, I've ran into one or two.
However............I know a lot more racist whites than I do blacks, and, if you treat black people like you'd like to be treated, it turns out pretty decent.
Even though there was that situation at Pott's Place in Meridian MS, everytime I went with LA to a rap disco, NOBODY hassled me about being a white boy in a black place. On occasion, one or two would give me some strange stares, but for the most part, they were all right and fun to party with.
One time, when I was stationed in my first squadron, a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go home with him for the weekend and hang out where he grew up (he was black) and I said sure, because we were pretty decent friends, and I wanted to get the hell out of Jacksonville for a while.
We went to where he lived, up around Columbus GA, and that Saturday we went out clubbing. In the first place we stopped, I stood out like a searchlight on a dark night, because I was the ONLY white person in the whole place. I grabbed a beer, walked up to the pool table and put my quarters up, and when I turned around, there was a large black man who looked at me and said "do you know where you're at boy"? I said "yeah, I'm here in a bar with some jumping music, drinking beer, playing pool and looking at pretty women".
He then told me I was all right and I had a great time there. Later, we all left and went to another club that didn't close until 4:00 am., and I had a great time there as well.
Sorry, but in my experience, blacks are more tolerant of whites than whites are tolerant of blacks, especially in the South.
Shit...................when I was stationed in Millington TN, there was a place called Tipton County (just to the north) where if you were black and caught in the county after dark, it was open season on your ass.
