Okay, I have no idea about the guy in question, but I can tell you that racism is still very prevalent. Some people are not purposely racist, but show that they have racist tendencies by behaviors and mentality. I’m only 22, and I have dealt with teachers amazed at the fact that I was ‘so intelligent’. They never said that about my white or Asian counterparts, but they were stunned that I performed so well academically. I think racism is ingrained in a lot of people. I blame most of the current racism on the media…how often do you see a black person depicted in a good light? To often we are portrayed as gangsters, drug dealers…etc…and I’m not saying that all black people are saints, but alot of grew up in the so-called ‘normal’ middle-class homes. However, that’s rarely depicted. Therefore, many people automatically view us in a negative light. In the days of overt segragation it was easier for black people to fight, but today many of us are fighting a prevailing mentality of inferiority. Physical pain is much easier to take than mental. Alright…I hope this makes at least a little sense, and you realize that racism is still everywhere, just in a different form.
