Not sure what to think about this... http://askablackperson.com/

that is so weird to me. Granted, I don't remember having any black friends in #Alabama, but as soon as we moved to North Carolina (right before I turned 9), I started playing #basketball with black guys. There was even one black guy (Lamar) that played baseball and #soccer. Then, when I went to #NCSSM, there was another black guy (Jay) that played soccer. Both of my experiences up north were very atypical (not that NCSSM wasn't), but plenty of black people there as well. Played soccer with multiple black guys and girls this morning (and others as well).

plenty of military bases in NC. Now, there are big cities in the south, with all sorts of races, but yeah, probably not when you were growing up.

my parents still live 8 miles or so from the SC border. It's definitely it's own special little place.
