Racial Stupidity

What I find really curious up here in Canada is how many Black folk I run into who are sold on this concept of 'Racial Tension' and the 'Crimes of the Old White Man'. 

I grew up in Vancouver.  There weren't a whole lot of Blacks (Mostly East Indian and Chinese) but the ones I met?  At least a third of them were total assholes.   My best friend in grade 2 was black.  His name was Ray Clark (Yeah Like the singer).  I played with him and fought with him and whatnot.  You know.  What kids do.  His dad stormed upstairs with him and I watching TV.  He brought a newspaper with him.  He ordered me to read an article in a newspaper he brought up.  I faked it because I didn't want to read a fucking newspaper article (did I mention GRADE 2).   He then kicked me out of his house.  

My first exposure to racism in regard to black folk was a black person's unreasonable racial intolerance  of me.

The last time was by a customs agent at the airport a few months back.  He didn't like me and it was emanating from his voice, his body language, everything.  He kept interrupting and correcting.  He was very demeaning.  The only time he was nice was when he was trying to get me to say something that would keep me out of the country.  Then when I was answering one of his questions, he stamps and shoves my passport back in my face, gives me his best 'Fuck You' look and tells me to 'Go'.   
   
I had a black friend attack me while I was looking at my cards while him and I were playing crib.  A flurry of fists as I was falling back in my chair.  That fucker beat me black and blue.  I finally stood up and fought back when I was able.  I told him to knock it off and he did then he kicked me out of his room.  Because I was all 'Loyalty over Integrity' in my early 20s, I didn't get him kicked out.  He told me later that he attacked me because 'He felt tension between us'.  That was it.  

As I said before; I have lived in Vancouver almost all my life.  I'm white and practically a minority here.  If I were to feel racial tension at all, don't you think it would be toward one of the other main groups of minorities!?  

Yet most of the black folk I see around here (what?  Like 1%!?) carry this massive chip on their shoulder...you know like all this history we've had with them.  You know.  Slave owners of the Alberta Oil Sands.  And what?  Who can forget The Emancipation Proclamation 2. 0 by Alexander MacKenzie (except everyone because it didn't fucking happen).   

You know?  I've gotten so much shit for being 'Racist' by way of my being 'Older and White' not just by the few black people I happen to run across but by young white people.  I've had reasons not to like certain people who have happened to be black.  If I were to categorize then I would say that a third of all black people I've met were total shit heads.  Is it because of a perceived tension?  Is it because of my history with certain individuals that make me classify them subconsciously based on a proportion of experience?

I don't know. 

But what I do know is that when I get into an elevator and there is another person who doesn't know me and is absolutely dripping with hatred toward me:  There is something really wrong.
