The End Of Racism? You Can't Be Serious!/mikkj


Yeah, I thought racism was over until I befriended a black man about 6 years ago from work. The things that he tells me are incredible. Imagine, being called the "N" word to your face for absolutely nothing.

I experienced it first hand sometimes when we would go to lunch. People treated me different (and usually not nicer) at a restarant.

He is also a photographer and when he goes to the airport he makes sure he leaves enough time because his equipment always gets searched. I know another white photographer and that does not happen all the time.

The acts may be more subtle (sometimes), but they still exist. Sadly, I am not sure they will ever go away.
