And Julia (that was a big one) and Facts of Life, and Diff'rent Strokes, and All In The Family, and The Jeffersons, AND teachers in school, and basically everyone.

Even when I lived in North Carolina and New Orleans and Guam.

We also were taught about bussing and affirmative action in positive ways.

Mom and I talked about it when I was maybe 6? Dad was a little later. Dad lived in Louisiana and had some twinge of "There are good ones" but presented as "There ARE bad ones" but he never expressed racial discrimination or used slurs that I heard in my entire life. (Trust me, I've heard a bunch in the 70's and 80's in the south when I visited for the summer.)

It was a very simple message devoid of the "Well what about the racists rights to be racist? Isn't that reverse racist-ism?"

The amplification of "nuance" and bullshit started in the early 80's and has gotten us to where we are today.
