How Old Were You The First Time You Experienced Actual Racism?

[Westie]

8 that I can remember. I got in a fight with 2 little white boys who called me a nigger.

3 years old. I had a fro and white people would clutch their purses and cross the streets when my big wheel came up the block.

A girl in kindergarden said I was a monkey once I said I was part black after some stupid culture project. My mom was there who actually had to deal with the shit more than I, needless to say that girls mom got an ear full.

Another time was when my homie came over when it was my dads birthday, and he called him a nigger and called me and my mom nigger lovers. My dad was mexican/hispanic but he didn't even admit that he was married to a woman that had black in her(my mom was hi yella). We were baking the bastard a cake and fixing a big ol supper too

Don't know, cause white people do subtle things around me, not overt, cause I'm a god and they know it.

Walking home from the basketball court with some friends was 9 I believe. White boys in a van pulled up to us and said "why don't you niggers gtfoh and go back to Africa" then pulled rifles and a gun and started shooting in the air broad day too. Our black ass took off running and they was laughing like hell at us.

Not one cop was called or did the older crack as who house we was in front of say or do shit. Where I'm from that shit was the regular growing up.

Nobodys beatin this story, it was just a different level or racism in the 50s...

 

[ohhhla]

I regret it because I got suspended for 2 weeks

I was so worried about what my black friends thought

[illestni99ainne]

when I was in kindergarten I had a jheri curl. this little girl asked me how my hair got so juicy, and my teacher told the entire class it was probably fried chicken grease. Needless to say she was fired.

i think maybe i was nine years old. Had this white friend i use to ride bikes wit. one day i had to sock his cousin in the eye for sayin to my friend when he first found out i was hanging wit him " why do you ride with him, hes black!" Dude was bold enough to say it while i was standing there. Thats still one of the cleanest punches i ever threw and im grown now

 

[NYETOPn]

Just the standard prejudiced behavior, first experienced during my mid-teens:

Followed in stores, cops called when going for a jog, doors locked in parking lots, gun drawn when selling raffle tickets for grade school football team, told "can't get something for nothing" upon entering a store...upon entering, yeah.

"These scumbags view me like arachnophobes view spiders" came to mind, then.
