This thread delivers.


I've never really had a "racist" experience that I can recall, other than the fact that a kid called me a "****" during gym class in high school. His excuse was the old "they call each other ****, why can't I? I thought it was fine." To this day I never use the word (unless I'm angry), and I cringe when I hear other black people use it, especially around white people.

Other than that nothing has happened to me, not even at Alabama.

When I was young my dad coached my soccer team. He was the only coach that would go to "other" neighborhoods and give less fortunate kids a chance to play. Most of our team consisted of African American kids and everyone hated us. One time an opposing parent ran onto the field and punched one our players and called him a n%^%$r just for schooling his kid. My dad appropriately hit the field and knocked the dude out.

Edited to add that nobody could match our speed on the field and we won state two years straight. Would have won another tournament but it was regional and a team from Atlanta lit our arse up.

Growing up the small town racism was unchecked. I have to admit to saying some very racist shite growing up. My whole extended family was that way. That is, until our family gained multiple grand kids with dark skin. It's amazing how quick that mindset shifts.

This one time me and some fellow salesmen were talking about pearl harbor and realized one of our coworkers looked like a damn jap. We all swore never again and decided it started with him. We later learned that he was korean.

I know someone who rents out houses in an middle-class neighborhood & whenever blacks act interested in renting a home in the neighborhood he tells them it's like 3,000 a month so they wont rent it but he really only charges white people 1,700 monthly. He figures out ways to keep blacks out of that neighborhood.

I tried to explain to an African American woman in a parking garage how she needs to turn her lights on so that she can be seen the mirrors coming around turns by cars coming the other way. She responded with "I don't have to turn nothin on for no white motherfrickin craker"

I then said "You see that attitude right there? That's why you're poor and drive a van"

She got out of her van and punched me in the face, and said "say something else white boy"

I didn't appreciate her responding to my attempt at helping her to understand proper diving etiquette in a garage with racial comments and assault.

One of my parents neighbors called my dad while he was at work because there was a black kid playing basketball with me and his son.

He wasn't aware that the kid went to his sons private school. My parents don't really speak to those neighbors now.

At a wedding in Jackson, MS I heard a grandmother aged woman say to her husband outside the bathrooms "I wish we still had white and colored restrooms, they just seemed cleaner"


The husband was silent. She had to have been 80 though, so I chalked it up to being batshit crazy/dementia/alzheimers.
