You are a white man living in Florida, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

My whole life I've had family in Jax, and I've spent a lot of time there. My uncle's family are from Georgia, and I've spent a lot of time there. I lived in South Carolina for 2 years. Throughout that time I met many white people who were explicitly racist... Not in terms of "I don't like Colin Kaepernick"... In terms of using the n-word freely and openly stating that black people are lesser than white people. Some of these people were rednecks, some of them were in positions of great authority, some were members of my own family. This makes two things clear as day to me:

1) racism is clearly very real.

2) some people in my family suck.

My question to you is, have you really never been around explicitly racist people? Or, if you have, is that irrelevant to you?

And, of course, those people who are explicitly racist are just the tip of the iceberg. The vast majority of people keep that [BLEEP] hidden. There are undoubtedly people who have posted in this part of the message board who say that [BLEEP] behind closed doors, and if you believe there aren't then you are even more willfully ignorant than I assumed.

Lol.  U think that's bad?  Do u have any idea the stick I get as a trump supporter in a black barbershop?
