Re: trump Inpeachment...............
I am being serious when it looks obvious in this day and age Democrats seem to act like the only people who are racist are white, and pretty much every middle aged white man, who votes mostly for Republicans is racist (that is me).
I understand things have changed, please explain the modern take on what I have experienced in my life. What I believe is based mostly on personal experience and not what I see on the news and I have my reasons for that. Played football in college in the late 70's thru early 80's, program long since discontinued, hung out in a foursome, two white, two black guys. My black friends did not have wheels, they told me their neighbors did not like white people. I used to pick them up a 1/4 mile away from where they lived even when I gave them a lift to the grocery store that was about 10 miles away. They said it was not safe for me to be driving in their neighborhood. Flipping the story I lived in the lilly white part of town even though it was only 10 miles from where Issac and Lloyd lived (their actual names). The apartments where I lived were two level, built in a closed rectangle around the swimming pool and BBQ grilles. Everyone's living room window looked out into the pool area, whenever Jeff and I (the white guys) had Issac and Lloyd over (the black guys) for a swim and some BBQ steaks my neighbors would constantly be peeking out their curtains at us. I was well known to my neighbors, I was not a stranger. My take is my neighbors were racist, they were so over the top looking at us it was obvious they were uncomfortable I had brought a couple black dudes into the apartment complex which had security gates. That is on of the few times I feel I have experienced racism to the extent it can be damaging to people. On the other hand what does a modern liberal think about my black friends telling me I would not be safe in their neighborhood? |
