I guess the first encounter wasn't really directly towards me. I was playing with a group of friends, 2 black girls and one hispanic boy and then all of a sudden there was a fight over a ball or something really stupid. Well it got heated between one of the girls and the guy and the guy called her a nigger.
Well she got mad (I think she slapped him and took her sister and left), but I had no idea what the heck he said then, I was pretty young and I was never exposed to any of that in my house. I never asked about it and since we all were playing together the next day it didn't seem like a big deal. I can't remember when I finally got the clue about that word, honestly. Probably near the time I went to middle school. --------- I was with my Dominican friend and her mother and we were at the pool. Well my friend's mom brought a radio and she started playing Reggaeton and music along that vein. One of the pool clerks came up to us and asked us not to play that music at the pool. Well my friend's mom got angry and she asked "What if we changed it to American music?!" The guy said that if we changed to English music then it'd be okay. My friend's mom was livid and she dragged us out of there. --------- I was in my English AP class during lunch (then, my friends in that class would stay and eat our lunches inside the classroom, our teacher was cool like that). Well, while my other friend were buying their lunches I was with one of my friends, a bi-racial (black/white) guy. We started talking and he said something about how we're both the same because we act white and take advanced classes. I was so absolutely shocked (my eyes probably bugged out) by him saying that, and I told him off about it. I couldn't believe he'd say something like that and I couldn't believe he'd believe it either. -------- However, this may not be racism but I tend to get overly annoyed when people go "Oh, you're African? <insert clicking noises here>! Can you understand that?" and go into spiels about giraffes, monkeys and head shrinking. Oh and since I'm from Nigeria, sometimes there's idiots who start shit "Niggeria, lol!" That sort of thing annoys me without end, even though I should know better not to let that stuff affect me. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
