Lol..Ya wanna know racism?? I live in the "chocolate city"!! Hahaha...Maybey yall don't know what i'm talking about...Our mayor, mr nagin decided he was gonna call new orleans the "chocolate city" because everyone from new orleans is a chocolate of some kind. Which is true, but the *100%* white people that lived in new orleans took total offence and threw nagin the race card.
I'm proud to live in the chocolate city, I didn't take offence to it at all. Hahahaha...He still won mayor 2 weeks after the statement, so it didn't seem like a race thing at all. He appologized for the manner in which he said it, but not for what he said...
Down here, racism is everyday. But you don't see it because we are the largest "mixing pot" in the .U.S. But if you go further up....The racism stands out more. Have it be because less african americans live there or because the people really do *hate* black people, I don't know.
I do not like racism and will not tolerate having someone be racist around me. It's sickening to know that we all come from the same people and just because the melanin in my skin is darker than yours doesn't have to cause hate.
