Ok I was raised by and around whites and never heard it sneak out once. Also you are correct, In my lifetime I have never seen anyone act like that. I keep saying it's not about color it's about cash man. But Im the new black if you ask dre

I know you aren't trying to belittle my experience right? I could be reading that wrong. Just because you haven't seen it happen doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

If it were easy it wouldn't be freeing yourself from oppression now would it?
I can do it too, and so can everyone. People have no idea how much power they have and we let groups like this on either side run a muck with our minds and our rights, whether they wanna take them away or give us strange new ones to be confused by. THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM IS NOT GIVING IN TO VIOLENCE AND AND RAGE WHILE STARING TYRANNY IN THE FACE AND NOT BACKING DOWN!

Again I remind you this is possible....... You just have to be willing to lay yourself down for something greater. Which most people don't want to do. So all of us are called to do this only a handful of answer.

No. I don't want to belittle your experiences. And all kinds of things happen I don't see or hear. I get that. I know anecdotes aren't science. But my high school was almost exactly 50/50 white/black. I know that demographic because I checked it. Work places, bars, shows, sporting events, you name it. I've never seen that. So I'm asking sincerely, how many times have you experienced that?

Of course it is possible but I don't have faith in society/people to be able to do that on a large scale.

I have had three key incidents that have stuck out in my mind but it has happened more than that. The strange part is that I live in the NorthEast. It isn't even like I live down south where you'd expect that to happen much more often.

Dre I know man, you have to fight the apathy that's the real enemy. Getting out and talking to people and actually doing something about it instead of helping to usher in the death of free speech.

What do you think I do Roxy?

Do YOU get out and talk to people and actual do something?

You forget that I do volunteer work with a community organization. I'm actually on the ground door knocking and talking to people. Are you making the assumption that I'm just a keyboard activist like so many others in this day and age?

Community Voices Heard, google them.

I know what you do dre cause I know you personally I just wasn't gonna splash it on the board for everyone, cause you know I am insane for my privacy.

Yeah I have said it 6 times, on FRIDAY MORNINGS I GOT TO THE HOOD, bus stops, car washes, the ****ing mall wherever my heart takes me and pass out the constitution. I used to just keep em in my purse but handing it out and not tryna engage people I saw them being used as napkins, or thrown out, so I learned that you need an opener.

. I am literally an army of 1. And it's the scariest thing I have ever done. TBH and I was in the Africa in the late 90s when they started ****ing eating people again. So I know scared. I've been stoned with rocks in a Muslim LIBERAL country for wearing a cross inside my shirt and had to run 5 blocks to get away from an angry mob of kids dude kids.... So yeah I know fear, and what I do Friday mornings scares me so much so that all I have on me when I do it is the bill of rights, and my license.

"Southern whites hate the black race but love black people. Northern whites love the black race but hate black people. "

I'm not sure where I got that from but it makes sense to me. I've heard a lot of non-southern whites talk about racism in the south. From what I've seen, usually those same supposedly non-racist whites sure like to make sure they stay in the white part of town.

As for me, I'm not even going to bother claiming I'm not racist. The best I can say is usually try not to be. But I've seen it everywhere I've been.
