The pervasiveness of racism in everyday life. [View all]

I was on the phone with a friend, inviting him to an NAACP event and he had me on speaker and with him was a friend of his who is not a liberal as far as I know.

My friend is, everyone in this story is W by the way (I dont use the full word, gets WAY too much attention.)

When I mentioned the event and NAACP his friend in the background started laughing about how they even still existed and how we better not show up with black-face HA HA HA HA!

My friend kinda shut that shit down and we changed topics, but this idiot has NO CLUE what he is saying could be offensive and absolutely DOES NOT care!

The ONLY situation where he would CARE is if he said it in a room of POC or WOKE W people and he received the appropriate negative attention.

Pervasive, daily,everywhere, constant.
