I had something similar happen once. When I was about thirteen, my cat disappeared and so I went door to door in my neighborhood. One of the houses was this little old seemingly innocent white woman. She told me "The ni---rs probably took your cat." WTF! I just remember standing there with a stunned expression on my face. Kind of an eye opener because sometimes you get complacent and start thinking "there isn't as much racism today" or "people are more enlightened/intelligent today". HA! The worst part is a lot of times it comes from people you would not expect to hear it from.
Right, but you have people on this site who insist that racism is over and affirmative action is pointless and we're all one big color blind society. Sure maybe a good amount of our generation aren't as ignorant as this old lady or HippieLawChick's dude, but the fact still remains that a large amount of people in this country still hold these attitudes....
