I was made to walk through the snow bare feet by a teacher as a white kid claimed I had kicked him (no I didn't). I was about 6/7 at the time. Is that comparable or doesn't it count as it didn't happen in the US?

Lurk everyday.. Post once a month..

I believe only because I had money tho.
I lived in Gatley (SK8)
And I had an American accent so everybody was chill with me.

My girlfriend's family (she was black as well as all her fam) all lived down in Northhampton so we'd drive down there like two weekends out of the month
That was a more hardknock life and I could tell the babylons was more present

I've never been overseas. Just wondering.

Edit: By 'Murican, I mean maybe relate it to things in the US. Wasn't being snarky.

In response to Reply # 22


          

And i didnt take it as snark, dont sweat it.

First of all,imagine a smaller american city that used to have some type of industry but fell on hard times.

In my mind i'm thinking like Pittsburgh, but they going through a renaissance.

N'ton was shitty in the 80's and looks the same now. Just gloomy, uneducated, unwashed masses.


Racially i just remember being treated like an alien....not open hostility (only once that i remember), not invisibility either though...like, people were aware of you but made no secret of the fact they didnt fuck with you, without ever telling you.

So i went back for the first time in decades, and i literally felt like i had come from the future to get there.

Maybe i've traveled the world and they still dong the same basic shit...im not stunting, i actually feel grateful thst my parents thought enough of me to say 'we gotta get this mofo outta here'

So she got that "smart negro" preferential treatment.

Edit: my hood was very upscale cause my GF was bougie.
Lots of Bentleys and Aston Martins was around us.
I'd occasionally meet a old white housewife in the deli or the fisherman's and they'd get a kick out of my American accent and th then go into stories about their time in canada.
Old white money.
Older than the USA!

Or so I learned from Lianne LaHavas and that whole fiasco.
Here, it's a very recent phenomenon and those folks are largely told to STFU. But with no one drop rule in England... it seems that it's okay for them to not be/not want to be black.
