No.. Coz in my eyes babies have no clue/colour. Society hasn't influenced them yet.

Living in the DMV will never let you see blatant racism. But once you drive outside the I-95 corridor in hick Virginia or Western Maryland, its much more blatant.

My uncle lives out there in Western Maryland and I remember one time we was picking up a pizza when we were visiting and the servers were like "how can these niggas have this kind of car?"

Wallahi I remember having to do a Lab/Project for school in Calvert County, MD near Chesapeake. Had to go to the marine museum and shyt. Wallahi I remember When I finished stopping at a Hardee's and I felt like I was in Missisippi or some shyt. Straight up Red Neck Cadaans. MD really is a Red Neck state with the exception of the DC Corridor and the Baltimore corridor.

Leila, name calling, snatching of my belongings. We were treated as if we were exhibition pieces, only we were not left alone.

Grandpa, unfortunately no. Alhamdullilah we didn't stay long.

Bengali's can be very racist, especially the older generation, they never return your salaam. Besides that they have a word for 'darkie' that they use blatantly :down:

Somalis should not complain about racism since we are one of the worst racists people on the face of the eath. We call our fellow Somali Bantu "adoon", we have turned their tribal name into tribal slur like "jareer", we gave them other racial slurs like "timo adag", "gudhuu", "sangadhuudhi", "xabash", and so forth. We call our fellow Gabooye "Midgaan", fellow Anaas "yibir", we see these other minorities like Yaxara and many others as outcasts. Subxaanallah, what we have done to these fellow country men and women is beyond belief. I am not surprised if someone calls us the same things that we call and say to other people.

Preach what you practice. Either don't practice it or get used to it when someone else who happen to be onother race calls you the same thing. :idea:
