You grew up in the projects? Government housing? I grew up in an all black neighborhood and I know a thing or two about the subject.
I grew up cleveland/akron, OH. I was the only white kid on the city bus every morning. And even back then, aside from some ignorant comments, etc - we were all poor, we were all hungry, we were all cold as shit. I mean, have I been called names or caught an ass whooping? sure. But seriously, I'm not sitting around at 37 talking about my racial persecution lol... kids being a-holes.
As adults, if another man (of any color) attempts to hurt me, i defend myself as needed.
As adult, if another man cracks on my skin color, I return insults with a smirk, perhaps insulting his clothing, mother, education, car, whatever.
If he chooses to escalate, I'm armed and I follow law and things happen.
Seriously, there ae WAY worse things in life to be concerned about than "racial persecution". In decades past - YES - HUGE problem back then. today, however, it's about money, getting laid, staying healthy. Anyone silly enough to live every day screaming about race, well, that's a nice hobby but I'll pass.
