Racist

A white man is not welcome in a black neighborhood. It's a known fact. I drove in my old neighborhood a number of years back, shortly after we moved from it. I was 9 or 10. I was afraid, not because I was told to be, mom had never 'conditioned' me to be afraid of the neighborhood. No, it had more to do with the black people there that glared at the white mother and two white children (Boy and girl) who were invading their neighborhood.

Sound's rather racist, doesn't it? No? Why not? They're discriminating against the whites, aren't they? They don't want the whites in their neighborhood, do they? Wow, sounds rather similar to the way blacks were treated in the 60's. They couldn't go into a white neighborhood without being afraid. Now it's the other way around. How is that right?

It can't be me, I am not in any way racist. Seriously. My family is of German background, my stepfather was a black man, my aunt is a black woman, a cousin of mine is a cuban from Miami...That's a pretty diverse family, and I don't shy away from any of them. So don't call me racist here. I'm just telling you what I've seen, and that is 'reverse racism'. It's taught in schools that it's different than 'racism'. It's the minorities discriminating against the majority. Well, fuck, that's racism in my book. What is it in yours?
