Nah, blatant racism isn't much a thing anymore. It's the systemic racism that is turning out sticky.

I'm in the South and haven't heard N, or any other slur, in ages. Confederate flags are rare enough to make my blood boil when I see one.

    It's not as bad as social media makes out. I've seen more racism in Manhattan and Chicago than down here.

    When I moved to the South, black people often gave me the evil eye. Never had that happen before! Really woke to how angry they must feel when hit with random, senseless racism.

    Anyway, haven't felt that in almost 20-years.
