Growing up, I was always around a few blacks, but not a lot, even when I was younger and we were dirt poor, there just werent that many around.

I then attended private school for a while and there were NONE.

I started public high school in 10th grade and was thrown to the grinder. I didnt live in a black area, but half of my schools zone covered one of the darkest neighborhoods in my town. Over 40% of the school was black.

Mind you, this wasnt that long ago I was in highschool, late 90's, early 2000's, in South East Florida

This article is 100% my experience with the high school aged black community and continues to be my experience to this day. Word for Word, I could have written that myself.
