I think there are more white liberals that hate black people than black people realize.
Yeah, like those wimmin who live in places like Scarsdale or Great Neck (sorry Radiohead, this doesn't apply to Seattle) who vote Democratic and insist on using the word "African American" yet would call the cops if they saw a black person walking in their neighborhood.
I discovered that when we moved 'North' back in 1981. I'd never seen such racism in my life! And it wasn't just toward black people. There was a lot of ehtnic racism, as well; Italians vs Irish, Germans vs Poles; Christians vs Jews; it was ridiculous!
I was amazed when talking with a friend once up here in MA. She had never even MET a black person before she went off to college and had a black roommate. That just astounded me, and I couldn't even imagine it. I don't remember a time when I DIDN'T know black people, and not servants or 'help' or anything like that; just people! We had black kids in my Catholic elementary school in S. MS in the 1960's!, WAY before forced integration came along in 1971, when I was a senior in high school.
The funny thing about the forced integration was that the black kids who were forced to come to the white high school absolutely did NOT want to be there! They wanted their OWN school. The black kids who had decided to further their education, had been coming to the mostly white school all along, now they were all forced to be there and they didn't like it.
