You’re apologizing for racism without outright saying it all over this thread.

Edit: Don’t know how I stumbled into such and old discussion. My bad. Point remains though.

I always laugh when people hold such bigoted beliefs when they act like they oppose bigotry

I spent about 3 years in Alabama, Birmingham area, during the 90s.

Before I found my first apartment there, the first property management office I went to after calling about an ad in the paper refused to rent to me after I came through the door of their office. Within 30 secs of meeting the (white) woman who was supposed to be showing me a list of places to go look at, she started telling me I wouldn’t want to live in the properties they had available. As she hustled me out the door I realized everyone else in the waiting area was black. She gave me the card of another place - that woman spent the entire drive over to the apartment she wanted to show me probing my religious views. (And I never saw a black person living in that complex.)

Within the first few weeks I had new friends I’d made telling me “you’ll understand after you’ve been here awhile” regarding how they felt about black folks.

It only went downhill from there.

You might try to tell me how it’s changed since then. But recent headlines don’t support that, as best as I can tell.
