Ive lived through periods where obnoxious black people made my day ****tier like every ****ing day way more frequently than other races and I started to get racist.
I’ve also lived through periods where all the black people I interacted with were way cooler than the white people I knew and during those times I became less racist.
It’s the every ****ing day thing that wears you out.
Outside of workworld in Portland I lived in an all black area (MLK and Killingsworth) and every time I went outside it was some kind of hassle. In NYC I lived in Flatbush when it was almost all black back then. The black people in Flatbush were cool as ****. Never got hassled. Go figure. I will say Portland is racist af or at least was back then. The white liberals would wag their snooty fingers at my southern accent but they wouldnt dare step foot in a black neighborhood.
