    Came to Denmark from Africa when I was 12, so I was 13 years-old when I first experienced racism. I was walking around minding my business when a ? alcoholic compared my dark skin to a dog. Man that ? still burns my soul to this day.

    i didn't explain what happned to me in the op

    i was at kindergarten and then all these kids wanna play hide and seek or whatever(don't remember what game)

    all i remember was i was hyped up to play. Then this little girl gonna walk up to me and say "you can't play with us because you are black"

    now note that im only like 3-4 around this time so i don't even much about race n ? . I was in chock and was like "but aren't we all same"

    she was like "no my parents told me that your people are ? "

    burned my soul.


    then about a month later, the kindergarten teacher tried to force me to drink milk(i'm lactose intorelant and it was more severe back then, almost allergic)

    however she forced that ? down in my mouth and said "drink this you little ? "


    no ? . wasn't until i started school that i realized what racism was and that i had been done wrong.

    no not trolling my moms a beautician so when she first got started she was always eperimenting on us

    i've never experienced overt racism like that, but i've gotten the whole "you're so smart, you sound so articulate" condescending ? . or i'd show up for a job interview or something and i'd see a look of surprise in their eyes when they realize i'm black

    People think Black folks have one look
