Have you ever had a friendly conversation with an older black or white person and...

If they still refer to you as colored then chances are they would have called you a nigger in the 50's and 60's

this needs to be in G&S to be properly discussed...but i live in a buuilding with a bunch of old white folk. I see no signs forreal...

But u gotta figure after 50, 60, 70 years they've probably perfected the craft of hidden racism.

I honestly try to look at all people as individuals and don't assume shit just because one is White or Black. I've never experienced blatant racism from White folk, but I wouldn't be shocked if some Whites I've worked with talk shit behind my back lol

yeah sometimes when im in the store with my daughter and old white people wanna stop and tell her how cute she is....its stupid but i cant help to think "yeah she would go just right in a maid's uniform huh" lol...

ay i got a darkskin homegirl i was wit one day i forget where....but this white lady stopped and was like "you're so pretty i love your skin, its so dark and smooth".....she played it off but she was kinda pissed...i thought that shit was funny as hell b/c of how she said it with such seriousness lol

this is the best approach, since, like all people, older black/white workers are going to run the gamut of racial positions

Why was she pissed though? She doesn't think that was a compliment? Would she have been mad if a non-white person said that to her?
