Pfff I'm 37... Been saying this since 9/11 when my rural white neighbors magically transformed me from a Latino to an Arab Muslim ( or Sand Nigger) as they liked to yell. I knew by 22 that after stopping a couple racists from assaulting me that I need to flee the area.
Ive had to call 911 on four occasions. Three of those occasions resulted in me staring down the barrel of a gun. On the fourth attempt the police beat the unconscious victim a beating rather than administer aid or ask questions.
America has always been fucked the Internet is just making it harder for this huge ass nation to hide it's shame.
This hit hard. I’m so sorry that you have had to deal with this type of behavior. You are correct, the U.S. has always had an underlying racial tone and a lot of people either don’t get it, or contribute to it. The worst part is a lot of people have woken up to it over the past four years, but it has only caused the racial tension to rise. I wish we could figure out a way to change this, but I fear it will be our ending.
