I was a white kid in a white neighborhood growing up, but I knew that there were places black folks did not go and that we never went where black folks lived (Chicago area) My parents were racist, so they never explained to me what living black was like back then.

Growing up in Tennessee, I went to a rural K-12 public school, and there were about 5 black families that had kids enrolled there. I treated them like anyone else and I really didn't understand a lot about racism until I was grown. I was ignorant of many things. Still am, but trying to fix that.
