re: #80 HappyWarrior

Shit guys, I cringe everytime I hear my mother’s mother talk about black people because she’s full of stereotypes about how blacks are this and blacks are that. Asked my mom about it and she said she didn’t even think about it because she’s been hearing it her whole life. I don’t want to sound like I’m ragging on my grandmother here. I love the woman, I really do but her attitudes on race scares me.

I spent several years in Indiana and posted about my experiences there. I have many friends there. But..And this is a big But. If you were in a club or a party with all white Hoosiers it was N word this and N word that. If a black man or woman was there they were your best fucking friend. I won’t paint with a broad bush but that is what I saw. There is an under current of racism in this country and we need the courage to face and discuss this issue
