Racism in the black community.
I stopped by my niece's doctor's office because she had to pick up some prescriptions...anyway there are 2 little black kids sitting there a brother and sister about 10-12 years old and they are playing one of those hand/rhyme games.
Where you have to slap hands and say some rhyme...anyway I couldn't believe the stuff they were saying in public.
I can't recite the rhyme word for word but stuff like..."come back tomorrow white man I'll smack you around."
And then when it came to the part where they would recite the white man's lines they'd do it in like this horrible surfer accent like...DOOOOD!
I grew up in the 70's and I remember some kid's rhymes that had the word n igger in it..but if my parents caught us saying something like this we would have been slapped and if we did it in public..we would have been beaten..but yet this mother didn't do anything and what I did notice was the kids would glance at me on occassion *only white man there* as if to attempt to gauge my reaction...I sat there stone faced wasn't going to give anyone the pleasure.
