@realtegan @StillIRise1963 It bothers me how blind I was to it as a child. I grew up in a white flight exo suburb in rural Oklahoma. TV and school lead me to believe it was in the past, only a few olds still did it. I was blind to my mother talking about 'those people' and 'welfare queens' because my uncles and grandfather threw around the n-word with delight. And even when I figured that out, I was naive enough to think it was better outside a shithole red state because racism is so stupid.
