I’ll admit, I was embarrassingly clueless about the pervasiveness of racism for most of my life. It took me asking people I knew about their experiences and having them share their stories for me to learn how bad things are everywhere….It was a really life changing day. I find myself angry, embarrassed and ashamed for how racist this country still is and how insidious it is throughout our society.

Replyi’ve always wondered if the N word is so offensive why is that it’s every other word in hip hop and every day speech between black people? isn’t that a diminishing way to speak about yourself and basically showing the rest of the world that it’s kinda fine to speak like that?
