    Oh boy, where do I start? I was raised by racist crack and meth addicts in the rural southern US.

    Black people hate white people.

    Black people are trying to replace white people on a genetic level (Great Replacement Theory).

    Black people have smaller skulls and thus, smaller brains than white people, which makes them more ape-like and prone to aggression.

    Black people are taller, run faster, and jump higher than white people because they have three extra muscles in their knee area. Basketball was a white people’s sport before they set the slaves free.

    Black people drink and play loud music all the time because “that’s their culture”.

    All black people are lazy moochers who cheat the welfare system for free money to drink and smoke crack all day because they feel entitled to it after slavery.

    Black people actually liked slavery back in the day because they had a decent, simple life. Many of them begged to go back to the plantations after they were freed because they had nowhere else to go.

    The world was a better place when black people were slaves because at least then, they worked. Now, you have them all sitting around, collecting welfare, having white people pay their bills for them. If you think about it, white people are the slaves now.

    Just a little crack is fine, as long as you’re not an addict like those black people.

    Beer is for white people. It doesn’t get you too drunk so you can still go to work. Black people don’t work, that’s why they drink liquor.

    Birds have wings because they’re supposed to fly, that’s what they do. Women have wombs because they’re supposed to have babies, that’s what they do.

    Men are supposed to have as many babies as possible because God says to be fruitful and multiply. But women are only supposed to have their husband’s babies to keep the bloodline pure.

    I’m sure there are more, those are just the ones I haven’t repressed.

      Perhaps this is not good etiquette, but basketball was actually invented by a white dude.

        Basketball was invented well after the slaves were freed. Basketball came on the scene in 1891 (Juneteenth was 1865).

          I suppose that could be true if you accept the false belief about when slavery ended
