Anyone else think that racism against blacks was NOT a big deal anymore UNTIL they found it here?
I'm stunned by the amount of ignorance based hatred I'm seeing for an entire race of people in this day and age.
I live in Maine (not like the real world in many good ways) and we have a very small black population .. I don't see hate like this in my world.
I have NOT lived here my whole life. In fact I grew up in an era of race riots in my high school. I was in New Haven when the Black Panther trials were going on .. I am NOT unaware of how things used to be .. I just didn't realize how little they've changed.
All the racists on here have made me realize it's still alive and well in a BIG way! Thanks for the wakeup call!
The only thing we don't like here is flatlanders!
