Yes, racism stinks, and a lot of it is hidden. I think its hard for people that are not minorities to understand. For example, I have watched about 10 taxis go by before one stopped for me, the other taxis could be busy, but it could have something to do with me being a black male. When I was 12 I was accused of stealing a candy bar from a small mom and pop grocery store, sure they may assumed I stole it because I was young, or it may have been because I was black as well. Whos to say but I lean torwards the latter. The grocery store incident was my first experience with racism. Just thought I would share.
