he grew up in Detroit , Michigan. In the 70's the NAACP filed a lawsuit against Michigan state officials that in the city of Detroit and other counties the officials had policies to maintain racial segregation in schools and unfair housing policies. So, he pretended this didn't happen. He didn't even grow up in the suburbs or in a white area, he grew up right in the midst of this crap.
