Living in the LA area... i grew up in the suburbs (harbor city) but everytime i was around the city it was obvious the wighfolk lived in one place, asians in another, blackfolk, and the messicans.
Then i came to college and took sociology and black studies courses... the shyt you learn is incredible bruh.

around age 11 or 12 when some high profile cases involving racism was in the news around the late 90s and i was also looking at my environment such as my school. i realized that the reason why my school was so shytty had to do with the fact that the whole entire student body was black. it was also crazy seeing how the school took away all its programs and basically had NOTHING to offer the kids in order to enhance their abilities. they were basically shytting on the public schools around the way YET the public schools had MORE than what we had at that one shytty school. they thought because they were teaching us "religion" that we were getting an advantage.

i'll never forget the time my 8th grade asian teacher was ranting about a black kid calling her a racial slur said about white people. i honestly believe from the words she was saying was that she thought that she was white. it also showed me how some people are ashamed of who they are to the point where they'll even deny who they are.

White Canadians are just as racist as white Americans.

The only real difference is that white Canadians try to be more slick with their racism. After all, Canada has a reputation to uphold. White Americans are more socially unaware, and as such don't have as much of a filter on the things they say.

I even remember: a few years ago I was standing at a bus stop, waiting for a bus when out of nowhere some cracker drives by in his car and screams "******!!!" and drives off. You think Canadians aren't just like Americans? Canadians are so infatuated with American culture that everything they do is a carbon-copy of what you do.

When as a kid i'd be accused for bad deeds and crimes I didnt do, just because, by my white friends, their parents, or teachers. "edward did you steal my shaq rookie :dwillhuh:" ... "did you break this on PURPOSE... :comeon:" ... "how did you do so well on the test"

if there was a fight in school it was assumed i was in it and was malicious.

It subsided as i went through middle school cause people knew me but that initial ":ufdup: it was him" was the first evidence.

I think my dad explained when the shaq-card fiasco came up.

my father kept letters written from his family cus most of his family came from the south..the Carolina's, Georgia and Virginia. Those letter were powerful. He would read those to me when I was 6. Until this day he still has news paper articles, documentaries, books that he made all of my siblings either listen to or read. Documentary that I saw in which he recorded on VHS eyes on the prize made me really aware that racism existed.

I came up in L.A. in the late 80's/early 90's, in the midst of the whole Black Power era....so that shyt was jammed into my head from an early age (though fortunately, I haven't really been in any real "in-your-face" racial moments)...I personally think it's stupid and unproductive...

When a few white teachers figured out all the "dark kids" (blacks, south indians) weren't stupid, they used to intentionally never call on us when we raised our hands to answer questions, but would always call us out unexpectedly when it was a question we may not know the answers to (most of us did anyway) but we all saw through that bullshyt.

c00n ass vice principal at a majority white school coming up with bullshyt discipline tactics to use as "training" for white administration on how to deal with inner city black kids being bused into their districts.

The Midwest is easily the most racist part of America.

I was educated about it by my parents from a really early age. So I was always able to spot it even as a little kid. I was really quiet back then, so they obvisouly assume you're stupid. So i'd overhear these cracker teachers talk about me (only black kid in the class) and say some racist shyt. I was surprised that someone who would become a teacher would still be such a racist scumbag, but those evil fukks can choose to do whatever they want for a living I guess.
