I grew up in the '50s & '60s
Because of that I am able to know what is truth based on fact rather than that which is re writing of history.
Short version: Racism is on both sides and race baiters are making life worse for all of us. If it were not for them we could face truths and drive out real racism.
BTW, MLK had it figured out. I read some of his speeches.

REAL feelings and thoughts can't be brought forward and discussed.

I grew up in a neighborhood (ghetto) where I was the minority. Definitely got picked on a few times for being white
Had one neighbor (Jehovah's Witness) stand at the end of his driveway with a karaoke machine preaching that the white man is the devil
Don't let anyone convince you only caucasians can be racist

I grew up in Central in the 1980s and 1990s and went to an all white private school covered in confederate flags.
This was our old basketball court after the 2016 flood.
Those basketball teams around 2000 were so legit.
Couldn’t have been any racism in town because there’s no way those white kids learned those moves from their daddies.
They won MPSA state championships by like 30 or 40 points... They were coasting until they got to overall and had to play somebody like Prep or Hillcrest.

Was a child in the ‘50s and ‘60s South Louisiana.
Gas stations had 3 restrooms men, women, colored.
Separate water fountains. A lot of signs “white only”.
The grocery store down the street would serves blacks, but they couldn’t go inside. They would order at the door and the lady would bring them their stuff out to the steps.
It was a way of life

this by itself is not racism. Confederate $ is cool as shite. As is Nazi war artifacts. If you have a collectors item it does not mean you support the ideals of the person that owned that item previously. I had a Michael Vick jersey growing up. Doesn't mean I ran dog fights

My paternal grandfather would cuss blacks and Yankees but he got along well with all the black neighbors,they would come to visit regularly,he would invite them in for coffee or a beer.My grandmother would ream us out if she heard us use the n-word,even though grandpa used it regularly.
My grandparents in Baton Rouge were highly prejudiced against blacks and Italians,called them damned dagos.I never understood that,there were lots of Italians in Alexandria where I grew up and I never heard them referred to as dagos and never heard anything derogatory about them.
I never really understood prejudice until I went in the Navy.I couldn’t stand the idea that I was considered a lower form of life since I was enlisted.Intellectually,I knew why there are officers and enlisted but I still didn’t like it.

Racism was all around me when growing up but my parents weren't and my grandparents were not overt about it. I never heard the N word from them but they did say "Colored People" but that was acceptable in polite company back then. I played in a football little league that was all white and my dad who coached my team convinced his boss to sponsor (pay the fee to play)some poor black kids to play on our team. We ended up with maybe 5 black kids and the league tried to disqualify us, tried to disqualify my dad and a few teams boycotted the games against us. This was in Beaumont in the mid 70's.

There is a poster here that said back in his day, him and his friends would ride around in a truck and do some n***er knocking. He knew it was wrong but I don’t really think he saw it as a big deal.

a poster of a black boy and white girl enjoying a picnic or something and he straight faced said "I just don't think that's right".

I very much did. My dad was assistant warden at Angola back then and I was raised in a small community where most a the black folk worked for all the farmers. It was hard because I played sports, went in the military and work offshore now. I am now a racist against POS humans in general. Black, white, yellow, brown. I still cant accept all the trans stuff though.

Lol, “ flex “ that my parents weren’t racist ? Maybe if we factor in that I have been called a racist by every cucked White Progressive on this board at least 100 times I can get my street cred back?
Seriously, I’m not a southerner by birth. It just wasn’t done in my home. I had one aunt in Syracuse who hated blacks and she was notorious for it . I just never got on the hate train. Sue me.

Colored People
My 93 year old grandfather still says this
He actually says colored girl when talking about his nurse at the nursing home
I’m not sure what’s worse, the use of colored or calling an educated grown woman a girl
I’d say he’s more gender biased than racist
Doesn’t want to see female doctors, thinks females should be school teachers but not college professors..

Yes! I grew up in the 'hood literally.
So, there were a lot of Black people. No one on Earth is as racist as Black people.
I know this will hurt feelings, but the truth is the truth.

Let me guess. You think it's great to be proud of your race. Unless you're White.

People in my family might make racist jokes but that’s pretty much the extent of it. I don’t think anyone is actively hating other race people. One side is from New Orleans and one side immigrated, so not really a racist background. Although one time my grandfather called an auburn football player a gorilla, which I thought was kind of funny.
