In fact, so racist that I, a woman whose birth certificate says "white", spent most of my childhood being called the n-word regularly. I don't even look like I'm black, I have lightly olive complexion and freckles. It has also excluded me from many achievable goals because I was targeted for exclusion at nearly every turn, severe lack of opportunity.

That's how fucking racist this place is.

Slavery, racism, brutality towards slaves. The Bible is one of the biggest reasons racism flourished and still exists in America.
