re: If you are white, how much experience do you have actually dealing with black people?

I grew up in Donaldsonville in the public school system. Got bullied until I got to high school. I get a kick out of hearing people say black people can’t be racist

Belle Rose here.

Was told more than once in elementary school "you white boys don't belong here"

Went to Assumption. Rode the bus. 54 kids on the bus, 46 were black. Once we had a kid who was expelled from school for bringing a pistol, jump on the bus at one of the stops to announce "imma shoot all you white mother frickers"

Got in a couple of scraps in Dville.

But for the most part, I felt a bit of animosity towards blacks because of it. But at the same time had black friends, so I knew deep down not all blacks hated me. We were jumped, had stuff taken from us. We were always outnumbered so we never provoked the fights.

I have several coworkers that are black that I care about, really good dudes, coincidentally all from Donaldsonville.

My neighbor across the street of 22 years is a black retired Marine. We help each other here and there with projects.

When kids hate other kids because of race, that comes from the home.
