I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is.

Same. Same. I'm feeling like I must live in a bubble (nobody around me is like that) and also that it was also always there, they're just more comfortable taking their masks off right now. It's depressing.

On the flip side though the people I have around me are mostly family and my kids. I have zero social time beyond that at the moment. Two of my kids besties are not white so I'm at least absolutely sure I'm raising my kids to not be racist pieces of shit. It's something.

I genuinely expected that tweet to be a "you had me in the first half". Like the naggers scene in south park. Fuck that guy. Absolute filth.

Nah, blatant racism isn't much a thing anymore. It's the systemic racism that is turning out sticky.

I'm in the South and haven't heard N, or any other slur, in ages. Confederate flags are rare enough to make my blood boil when I see one.

Well that's heartening. Thanks.

It's not as bad as social media makes out. I've seen more racism in Manhattan and Chicago than down here.

When I moved to the South, black people often gave me the evil eye. Never had that happen before! Really woke to how angry they must feel when hit with random, senseless racism.

Anyway, haven't felt that in almost 20-years.
