The Unbreakable Cycle of Racism

It has to change. And I must believe it will.

“That was the first time in my life I ever remember experiencing racism. The older I got, the more racism, ignorance, and bigotry I witnessed and experienced. Sometimes my ‘friends’ used racial slurs when they sang along to popular songs. During sporting events, I was called racial slurs by opposing players. And as my eyes opened, I was affected by things I simply witnessed but did not experience, like people being treated unfairly by law enforcement.

All of these things bothered me. I didn’t let it show. I’m not sure why. But my way of dealing with racism was to pretend it didn’t hurt.” — Murray Littlepage
