> I am very much encouraged by the absence of N-sayers around Dopers. Seriously, when I was growing up in my segregated town in West Texas, the word flowed like water all around me. True, that was long ago, and I have my doubts that it’s changed all that much in that particular area. But I can only take this thread as a sign of an improved situation overall these days, and I’m not joking.

You see… this thread is not just about my little bubble after all…

Frame me if you will but my experience is that this racist side of white America definitely exists though carefully kept under the surface in our civil daily lives. I was shocked, particularly after Omaba got elected, how bad it really is.
