I grew up in a small (250 people) farming town in Eastern, Central IL. I knew nothing of racism until I played Jr College basketball with several team mates from inner city Detroit. I went and lived ~month with one of my team mates in the 5 mile drive area of inner city Detroit. My introduction to racism was were I was the minority. That is why I find irony in most racism stories being myopic. To those who took offense, I apologize.
