[quote=Anonymous]Racism is still alive and well My daughter has a small group of friends, six of them. She had some trouble this year with a Black boy in the same grade. Her five friends are Black and she’s White. The boy was trying to convince the other girls to drop the “goofy White cracker.” He was calling her a White devil. I was watching a documentary with her about the civil rights era in the South. They were interviewing a small town Mississippi sheriff and he kept using the word N@gger. My daughter asked me why he pronounced it with an ER at the end. I asked her where she heard it the other way. She said the kids in the back of the bus are always yelling and screaming and they use the word. I was able to talk to her about Malcolm X and segregation in the South to show her where these slurs come from. I do worry that it will get worse as they get older. [/quote]
