    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 ? 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 ? and called me and my mom ? 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

    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.

    Riding around in the van with some friends. Seen some lil kids walking back from playing basketball. Yelled out for them to go back to Africa. Then started shooting guns in the air drinking bud light 24oz cans. They didn't do ? , cops never cared. Those were the good ol days.
