What do you know of the racism black people face?

From personal experience, I once overheard Obama get called a nigger.

The rest of my exposure is based on what I hear. An example of racism against black people that I believe is true is Patrice O'Neal's story about how he and 3 other black guys got railroaded into prison because of a lying white girl and an insufficiently considerate judge/jury.

I know the black guy I previously mentioned extremely well. I've had black girlfriends. I have some black family.

D) have you had those conversations?

With the guy previously mentioned that I know extremely well, we've discussed race a lot, but we never dig extremely deep because I do not feel that would go over well.
