That was before people were really doing that a lot. I guess. Maybe they still don't do it a lot, except in the commercials.

quote:I am White. Born and raised in New Orleans. Immersed in Creole culture, in the best sense of that word. Lived there until I was 35. Later spent 3 yrs. in lily-White Iowa, 14 yrs. near Louisville, KY, 5 in Atlanta metro, 13 yrs. outside Tampa/St.Pete in FL, and 2 yrs so far in TX, metro DFW. What you say is true. What we are being fed by our media is political BS, designed to create tension, distrust, and hate among the races. In real life, there are people of all races - Black, White, Asian, Latino all living in a state of harmony. Is everybody always nice and respectful? Is everybody always good? No. But nowhere is there this mythical White Supremacy to be seen. And whatever BLM is, I’m not seeing much of it around me either. So what is left but to think it is all a creation of politics, presented and perpetuated by the media, and all pure bullshite! But for what purpose?
I sometimes forget that most white people haven't spent much time around blacks. Only 13% of the population, and people tend to self-segregate.
Those of us who were fortunate to grow up where it was 50-50 white to black have that perspective, understanding, and love, I think. In my case, I'm white and I know black people that I really love that I didn't seek out so I could be racially cool. I think a lot of people are just talking about stuff they don't know about.
Basically if you lived where it's really mixed, you grew up seeing how white people treat black people and how black people treat white people. You've seen up close what black people think of themselves and what whites think of themselves.

I’m from Mississippi. Was in the Marines. I hung around another Marine who was black from the same state while in Iraq, rather than the white guy from New England. I don’t understand those northerners.

If you are white, how much experience do you have actually dealing with black people?
I grew up in South Arkansas. The area was ~50% black/white. They were always a big part of my life, so I definitely have some experience.
And it saddens me today to see the radical left and the media spewing their divisive crap.
