Yeah, well I had the general bias in my mind that everyone in history books was dead already or almost dead except Neil Armstrong because space stuff and also I met him.

This is called being a child. Even up at 20 years old, longer accounts of time seem huge!

I've been learning more lately and I live in a city now. There's more black people than white people and their mixed reactions to just my existence has made me think a lot about why they feel that way. I've seen everything from the defiant angry dudes to older dudes who seemed legitimately afraid that I might notice them. It's wild.

It's really easy to grow up right thinking racism isn't a thing anymore because you yourself aren't racist and everywhere you look people are looking down on racism.

It's gonna take a few generations before everyone involved and everyone roped in by the older generations are dead before racism seems like a distant memory. We can't just go acting like it's all over with.
