Hi Denise,
Very touching story.
Especially the end, where you talk of the long term impact on you.
That’s something I don’t think people who haven’t been thru this think is even possible.
Much less understand. People have such a tendency to go “oh, well, why didn’t you just “get over” it.”

Especially in your case, where the hatred was in your home too.
Was there anyone you could talk to who shared your feelings? Like friends or teachers?

Was there any significant events / people that helped you in your process?

I was lucky, in that my parents were not racist. And I’d gotten into sports and theater, where among us, things were cool.

Take Care,
Bob

Linda,
Thanks for writing.
What were the attitudes of others around you? If it was hatred, how did that make you feel?

I spoke to a T-Ridge guy last summer at the Harvey Daze, and he talks of seeing white kids litterally throwing blacks under a bus, and one black kid getting thrown out a window. He was horrified, but he knew if he stood up, he’d get beaten up by the white kids.

Take Care,
Bob

Hello. Denise Hryn. I grew up on the south side of Chicago in the 70′s and 80′s. There was ALWAYS HUGE racial tension in the area I lived in. Always hearing the “N” word, parents pointing out the neighborhoods to stay out of (kill you if they saw a “whitey” on their block). My biggest was when a very nice, average middle class black family moved on to my block,Local kids wore kkk garb and burned a cross on their front lawn. I was apalled. No one talked to the only 2 balck kids at school, who were very smart, excelled academically, but would not make eye contact with any of us out of fear. Here is a family trying to do right by their children, give them a better life than living in the ghetto and there were the people in my neighborhood acting like the uneducated alcoholics most of them were. Because of one black famliy the whold block moved. It has taken me years to NOT be predujudiced against other races. We are all one in God’s eyes.

I have to say I never experienced any of this and I graduated from Thornridge in 1971. I got along with everyone and we were the first class to be integrated at T’ridge.

You’re full of SHIT pal.
You and your asshole buddies cry “I want my country back”.
Which simply means
“I want the nigga outa the White House! Alive or Dead”

Yer jest hiding under yer Momma’s skirt.

Your Daddy must feel read bad that he raised a Yellow-belly chump.

Seriously? a boxing match against any republican?

uh huh,… you are the foaming at the mouth guy right?

I won’t try and debate you, I’ll not waste my time, I was just curious.. not so much now, you write like a squirrel on Red Bull and acid.

Not likely to win any converts when you insult half the country outright.
