OK, sure, follow this: “When I was a kid it was just the time. I didn’t think much about the separate schools and such. In my school, my textbook only mentioned George Washington Carver. My parents were racist. They didn’t approve of my friendship with a Black girl I met. I remember others were racist too, but I was different. I never said the n-word in my life.” That’s how we got to the naked n-word. Rehashed racism. Like the person was flashing back, visualizing it all and taking me there too. Within that paragraph you also have: white innocence and rationalization. This is exactly what happened in my story.
