I do not have my head in the sand. I'm saying I don't remember ever being openly discriminated against. Are you saying it's impossible for a black person to live there life without being openly discriminated against in the U.S. ? Obviously we aren't in some post-racial utopia, but I'm saying I have never experienced racism to my face.
I find it funny that someone would think I would have to have experienced it
- dcole2929 11y agoHonestly, and I'm thinking really really hard about this but yes. I don't know where you have lived but I find it actually amazing that you can say that you have never in your entire life experienced open racism. I have so many questions I don't even know where to begin. And as a side note, my reaction should probably tell you all you need to know about race in America.
- zanek 11y agoPlease, ask any questions you have. I'd love to know what questions you have about it, as I see it as perfectly normal. Obviously depending on where you live, your socio-economic status , your experience may vary. I'd think one to be crazy if they said there were openly racist people in every city saying racist things, everyday to a black person. That seems ridiculous to me I seriously don't see what the big deal is. The USA isn't in the midst of the Jim Crow or slavery. Maybe your view is skewed my the media (CNN, etc) about the pervasiveness of racism. You can't fathom that many black people can live a life without meeting openly racist people ? I would think You were odd if that were the case
