Wow. This is a tough call. Hmm..so many things come to mind and it's hard to choose. The time I was walking into "The WIZ" and 2 dudes in an older Chevy Caprice said "hey nigger!!" sticks out. I kept walking as if I didn't hear it, but the amount of people that had stopped and stared reminded me that it was definitely real. Looking at that house with the cross in the backyard with the notches on it was something as well. The first earliest thing that comes to mind though is when a friend and I were about 9 and playing outside, our ball went into this dude's house (who's door was open for what ever reason I'm not sure). I ran in to get it and stood at about the doorway when dude's wife walks up and hands me the ball with a big smile on her face apparantly feeling that this was one of those "inocent kids are so cute" type of moments. Her husband - an elvis-looking type walks up to her and says "I thought I told you I don't want no black niggers in my house". At 9 years old, it's a strange feeling wanting to rip all of your skin off.
