I remember in either in the Globe or Examiner of Dog saying racist rants and doing drugs a year or two ago. I bet those people who reported it say I Told You So.

I can't tell you how many times in social situations I had whites (and Latinos for that matter) use that word and other epithets to refer to black people in a derisive in my presence when they got too comfortable with me. I have a pretty good idea about the kinds of things that were said when I wasn't around. Certainly, not all of the white people that I knew when I lived in Texas behaved this way, but a significant amount of them did. Considering my own experiences, I'd have to say that you do sound naive to me, and frankly, I think you're also overly sensitive. The post you were replying to did not say that ALL white people are racist, so there was no need for you to throw yourself up on a cross to defend your family. Maybe you don't deal with it personally, but racism is alive and well in this country.
I'm sorry you had to experience that so much but I don't live in TX. If you would read the replies through and through you would see that I didn't use the word ALL. Nobody has, and you call me overly sensitive??? What is your problem????? "There was no need to throw yourself up on a cross to defend your family?" What is that supposed to mean? I simply stated how it is/was for me growing up and now. Excuse the fuck out of me for voicing my opinion. I thought that's what we did here? My bad, my opinion is on the topic. 1/2 of your opinion is about what I said.raocha wrote:I grew up in predominately white suburban neighborhoods in Texas.
