to an all-black school as a youngster. His mom was a committed lib and wanted to live out her beliefs...only through her child, of course. Back in the day, he didn't mince words about what he was subjected to at school. Ditto another guy on the left, the musician Henry Rollins, who has shared similar stories of what happened to him going to a black-dominant high school. Ditto the lead singer of Everclear, who even had the balls to put some of that in the song, "Father of Mine." Again, things we're not supposed to talk about in proper society, because feelings might be hurt by the reality of the situation.
