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.

My buddy from ghana got married and i was standing for him at the wedding, little did i realize i was the only white person in the whole wedding lol......

I heard people whispering about me behind my back, it was terrible

then after the wedding me and two black chicks hit up a mcdonalds on finch street, we were all dressed nice and were laughing and having a good time, and there were the whispers again and other people staring at me

i wanted to punch them out but, then i realized those people who whispered and talked stared at me are broken in the head

Bigotry would be a better word, IMO, but I've been called "squaw" a few times in my younger years. It's getting a bit better because I think a lot of people are either of ethnic origin themselves or else they've shed the stereotype of the native, park bench rummy.

I was not aware that Germans were a race. I remember reading that Hitler was trying to convince everyone else that Germans were some kind of master race, but I don't think he was successful.
A German's a German to me. Hitler's dead.

I was robbed and beaten by some members of our glorious "Native First Nations" in 1957, in Geraldton, Ont.

They were right of course! What else can you do with a white dude who can't speak English?
