(27,985 posts)I have many black friends and I had believed that I left racism in the south but they all swear it's worse in the north because it's so insidious. So I started watching and damned if they aren't right.
Funny side note, as a NICU nurse, I'm always grateful to have a black premie rather than a white one and a girl rather than a boy, because the research shows that blacks are stronger than whites and females are stronger than males. Ergo, a black female baby generally does better than an equivalent white male baby.* It's the crap thrown at blacks as they grow up that switches that around.
I've occasionally, idly wondered if the white men enslaved the blacks because they knew they (the whites) were inferior to the superior strength of the blacks and feared them.
*Please understand I'm speaking in generalities and there are always exceptions to the above.
