I can admit I am a closet racist. It's pretty funny actually, I live in Minnesota a more liberal state in the union, my best friend since the age of 4 is black, and most of my high school friends are latino's from North MPLS (that's more or less our ghetto).
I think every white person is sort of raised to fear minorities, mostly black people, I know walking around the down town areas I get uneasy when a group of young black men approach, that's ironic too half of my school was black (albeit Catholic/private). Even though my positive experiences with black people far outweigh the few bad instances, I'm still bound to an uneasyness; that probably just due to the fact that I grew up in straight wonder bread.
Also I drop an abhorrent amount of N-bombs, I blame Chappel's show along with Clayton Bigsby for that though. On the issue of music sometimes I can't help myself when I hear some straight whack gangsta shit, I have often outloud said things like "Man this guy is a nig". Maybe I can work on this for lent.
