Public school. 65% black. I was on the basketball team.
Plenty experience. Some of those put-downs still make me laugh when I think back on it.

I was there on the front lines in 1968 when they integrated schools in my small town and got exposed to the hatred that blacks have for whites and it’s only gotten much worse since then. The more free shite they get the more they hate us. It will never end.
I can believe you were exposed to that. You have never been exposed to whites that hate blacks?
Do only the blacks that get free stuff hate whites? Do all blacks get free stuff?

55 and lived in southwest GA my whole life so I pretty much have always had daily interaction with black folks - it’s just part of life here like many places in the Deep South. High school was 70% black. I played ball and did farm work with black folks. My wife and I have a black couple who we eat out with from time to time. My kids now play school ball on mostly black teams. I also have a black child.

My interactions with blacks is probably typical. Integrated schools, coworkers, neighbors. Never had a problem and public interaction has been cordial. However, despite having the same opportunities, living in the same general communities and towns, kids going to the same schools, etc, blacks still vote 90+% for the dim party. This is where there is a huge disconnect.

I don’t “ deal “ with Black people.
We are all just folk. I reject identity politics with every fiber of my being.

Dated a black girl briefly in college. Smokin' hot, intelligent, etc. We lived in a co-ed dorm. It was primarily the racial shite that got to be too much. She and I were fine, but the blacks in the dorm tormented her ruthlessly for dating a white dude. In fact, I was a K.A. pledge at the time. An outsider would think that I'd get a ration of shite from the chapter for dating a black girl, but not a single word was ever said about it....and that was in 1994 before all of this woke shite started.

This is what makes me kind of laugh when you see some of the whitest cities and states in the country eaten up by their feelings of racism.
In their cases, they may actually be right!
For the rest of us who have always lived side by side with each other, we don't jump when we see a black person because it's like seeing a unicorn.
Especially in the south, we've grown up together, gone to school together, played ball with and against each other, been friends, etc.
Having lived my entire life in the deep south, I was actually kind of startled when my family took a trip to Flagstaff a few years ago and saw ZERO black people in an entire week. There were a noticeable number of Hispanic and American Indian people but literally saw no black people for the whole week. And yeah, these are the types of places that feel the need to preach to the rest of us about BLM and systemic racism which is almost entirely based on black issues.

Did that impact your experience with them? How so?

Dude I grew up on the westbank in lower middle class Gretna/Terrytown area and worked in westwego every summer. Probably 30-40 percent of my daily acquaintances during my formative years were black. In a huge way I don’t get where we are right now because everyone was pretty cool with each other back then.
I can’t speak FOR the black folks that I grew up around as to their experiences, but there sure as frick didn’t seem to be this massive undercurrent of tension that there is now 25 years ago. Black dudes I worked with would jokingly give me shite and I’d give them shite in return but we were tight and everyone was real with each other.
I think people were just cooler in general.

I'm down with OPP, does that count? I know all the words to "Whoop der idis" - bonus points.

Not directly, but it is a part of life where there should be much more common ground. Which would help relations I believe.

My junior high and high school years were spent in a town of 1000 people in rural Oklahoma, and our class size was usually 20-30 people. Every grade had at least 2 or 3 black kids and we all got along with them great.
Supposed to be the whitest, most closed-minded and racist area in America, yet somehow we missed the memo... wanna know why? Because the internet was in it's infancy back then and social media didn't exist.
People fail to really look at the big picture, and see the division being fostered by social media, megacorporations and the MSM Propaganda Machine.

In my job I have plenty experience dealing with black people. 90% of them are very nice. A few of them are troublesome. I can say the same about other ethnic groups including whites.

People are people, wherever you go. Good ones bad ones, and those in between.
There absolutely can be a cultural difference, but I try not to let that color my thoughts, as I intend to judge a person as an individual, based on their character.
This obsession with race in the media is insane and extremely dangerous.

Probably a valid question. Is it asked of black people?

Same, a couple close issues...but there was always a sharp dude handling it.
In Osan Korea, the bus went from the gate to the dorm at night...i was on base patrol riding the bus back and a bunch of black guys in the back were dropping crazy a-bomb. I kindly asked them to cool it down and stop with the racist language. They kinda cooled down and I went back to the front and they started talking shite about me...a black Chief got up and went nuclear on those dudes and told them to see them in his office monday...pulled all their ID cards.
I didn't even have to turn around.
I didnt know them, and it was probably the only truly racist moment for me. I mean, asked dudes to take stars and bars down in their office in the great purge of '12.

I went to public school amd my last name starts with J. I was one of a very few white kids in homeroom. They used to make fun of me for stupid shite like not knowing what a hard quarter was.
