Yep, generally when I leave casino it’s because I am just tired. Once you win so much it is like what is the point.

Remember when the internet was treated like AI when it first dropped? People up in arms about internets influence on young people/kids.

This all seems really familiar.

It was used for Black and white folks. At least where I grew up.

Make no mistake it was used as a racial slur toward me. So the Black community where I lived just has a cycle of racism. Mostly low income as well. That also includes Native American community. I had more issues with them to be real.

I kept to myself growing up besides my close friends and brother. When I was in pre-school a Native American teen would beat us up. He even stabbed me in the back with a pencil. He jumped my brother while he was riding his bike. We were 6-7 at time. He threw a rock hit my head had to go to hospital. He jumped me one day so I picked up a piece of glass and ended up cutting my finger had to go to hospital.

We moved to a new low income area. Instead of just Native American beating us up and harrassing us for being white. We had now added black community. We would get beat up on the bus and have fights at school. None of this shit was provoked just us being white in a Native/Black dominated area. Fast forward after years of this shit, I learned to fight. Didn’t change situation other than me showing others that I will fight. I had a 19yr old fight me on a school bus I was 16. This was after his friend knocked one of my brother’s teeth out in the damn lunch line. Dude skipped lunch line brother said hey man line is back their boom punched in face. My brother just told the teacher didn’t even fight back (I wasn’t there) both suspended. They said he provoked the fight. I finally achieved don’t fuck with me status in the 10th thru 12 grade. I have more but you get the picture.

I have friends of all race and religions and get along with everyone. So despite all the bullshit, I maintained who I am and didn’t turn into a shit head.

So when I hear white people can’t experience racism I just chuckle.
