Im white and Ive been around other whites who will casually drop the n word. To see how I react. Or will say something blatantly racist even without the nword.

For example I was viewing a rental property and the landlord said something like “you don’t have to worry about the darkies , there ain’t any around here except a few blocks over and they don’t bother nobody”.

At first I didn’t know wtf he was talking about. Warlocks?

I also was only half listening as I had noticed how shitty the place was and already decided no.

Racist landlord was just cherry on top.

Anywho.

I swear it’s a way for them to find each other.

They also seem to assume that since I’m white I’m with them on being racist. Or at the very least don’t mind that kind of talk.

I’ve only had a few of these encounters in my life. It’s not something I experience often. So it always catches me off guard.

But my buddy who is a mechanic, white, interacts with the public a lot more. He says it happens to him a lot more. Like they assume they are in the company of similar minds.

Nope.

My point being that. Yes I agree. It’s advertising to find similar types of people. To tell them they are welcome. And to promote it as normal.

It’s done on a big scale but happens a lot on an individual level too.
