And for the pie-in-the-sky beautiful white people who think with their fantasy intellect... those who truly believe racism is on the decline, I want to tell you to -- WAKE THE FUCK UP!
A massive portion of white people in America are as racist as they have EVER been! From the youth to the elderly, racism reigns supreme in the fiber of white America.
My family is African-American from off the slave boats from off the Cape Fear River running up North Carolina starting around Southport, NC... the seaside town of my birth. I also have Choctaw Native American blood in my veins. I was born in 1959! And the white people in North Carolina are MORE RACIST than they have EVER been the date of my birth! Hell, I dare to say, since the state was founded in 1789!
How the hell can I make that statement with such certainty? I have hundreds of family members living all over North Carolina. They know, and live everyday, what I know here in racist Virginia!
How racist are white people in Georgia, in South Carolina, in Alabama, in Texas, in Arkansas, in New York State, in New Jersey, in Ohio... need I go on? Many white people across this country are racist.
And so, am I surprised when young white people leave a racist comment like this in a restaurant... even when they know they will OBVIOUSLY be identified by the person they attacked? My answer is a resound “Hell No!”
People are growing bolder today with their racism than ever... and that is just plain scary!
Anyway, what the hell do we black people do about this shit -- other than keep being pissed upon by this country and its other people -- like we have been doing since my ancestors first were marched off the slave ships in North Carolina in leg and wrist chains?
I suppose we just keeping saying “Sorry fo’ offendin’ ya’ Massa... please don’t whip me fo’ tryin’ ta do ma servin’...”
