I used to when I was a bit younger and then I beat someone up for calling me a name. When I lived in Virginia, the people went out of their way to harass people. I had a few other black friends from Quebec, Pennsylvania and more Northern States who packed up and left because they were tired of the hatred. I haven't had it too much now as I am older neither do my children. It is the area I live in which is a college town and also the way we carry ourselves and speak have a lot to do with it, plus I think my facial expression pretty much says don't mess with me when I am in a smaller town.
