I even as a white female deal with racism on a daily basis. For one, I have always got along better with and felt more comfortable around black people since I was a pre teen. My mothers side of the family are farmers and most of them are prejudice. My sister and I have always been the outcast because of who we are, we grew up in the city not in the country. Things of course are going to be different. Then once I got pregnant at 17 by my kids father and they found out that he was black, they all freaked out and disowned me. So out of about 125 family members on her side, I only talk to about 15 of them and thats the truth. Isnt that a shame? Also another is example was my dads girlfriend as I also explained in my key term definition, she says she isnt racist, but yet talks down on all blacks and says they are worthless. Also she told me that my kids are never going to be sucessful because of their names are "ghetto", and a name is everything. My kids names are Stylz Andrew and Selyseon Princess. To me they are unique and beautiful. Really I dont care what anyone things because no matter what my babies are going to be sucessful and be something big one day. And also when I worked at KFC a black woman came in and I was the only cashier up front and she refused to let me serve her or pack her food. She didnt want me to have anything to do with me, wouldnt look my way nor speak to me. It took me to go get my black manager and tell her to go ask her to speak to her, and the woman ordered. Racism is crazy ignorance to me, we all are the same, if everyone would think logically and realize we all bleed the same color, we are just different shades of colors. I hope one day racism will not exist, but with all the ignorant people that we have in the United States, I doubt that will happen.
