And can you explain what "not that bad" actually means?

Because getting shot 10 times "is not that bad" if the guy next to you gets shot 20 times.

BTW, as a white man I guess I should know all the answers but I guess I took a Black History class the day they taught racism
I'll be serious on this answer. Replace the words "not that bad" with "less overt", and you've got it.

Also, a bit of what we call "racism" these days is nothing more than over-sensitive fucks getting all bent over a word or two. People are too quick to pre-judge and blast out at somebody because of a comment, even though their body of work is contradictory to the nature of the comment.

Still, there's tons of work to be done. I think the internet is really helping many of the kids in areas where the racial slant is high, and teaching comes from a 50 year old who fondly remembers "back in the day, when the world was white and right".
