A lot of stuff might have gone over our heads in K-12. Looking back now, in the 7th or 8th grade my English teacher used to say some crazy off the wall racist shut but hide it under the guise of it being apart of the lesson plan or being ironic. Our class read Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry and I remember her asking the class "Why did the blacks have to walk to school? Because they were too poor and...." some shyt she said. And on one occasion we had daily vocabulary words and one instance it was "blackmail." So she said she's gonna use that word in a sentence: "Blackmails are a menace." Looking back I knew she was tryna be slick but didn't fully grasp her bigotry.
