The new face of racism is not that of Bull Connor but, the face that is similar to yours and mine. This new face is not red with anger, when African-American people take a seat at lunch counters. This face is not always a face it is thoughts and actions. This new face is a New Danger. (Mos Def).

Wallowing in the deep abyss called "the new face of racism". This face is deceptive and can be misread. Be careful before throwing out the "R" word. I have misread this face numerous times and coming to the realization that it comes most often from pigmentation like mine.
Let me tease your thoughts for a second or few?
All people have bias whether it is unconscious or overt this is given through nurture of a child. Example, while walking down the street their is a group of unsavory characters in your path you work to avoid them. This a bias because your own discretion, makes them unsavory.
In a crowded room, groups of people are congregated socializing based on: age, similar interest, job orientation, status, and-dare I say it-color. This is not always a clear case of the new face but it can. The reason I added the last statement is because this was used as an example of evident racism. I beg you to let me yell "NO" as I would to a to a whale in a bikini.
This new face is shaped with common friendliness.

"Oh, how did your hair grow like that?"

"You look like, um, that rapper. Um, T-Pain."

"Why are those girls so loud ?"

"Why are you guys dancing like that?"

The metamorphosis of this face depends on your situation. The New face has eloquence and style that insults you.the insults are like dull daggers thrown at you, that are poisonous once they touch you. Personally I think the ingenuity is to be commended because it has adapted to change and weathered the storm of a Mixed President. an example of this inventiveness is filtering inner-city students your small school in the country to keep government funding. Luring them here with the false hopes and programs that do not exist to facilitate their crafts.

I have been grace from God Almighty to be the token kneegrow. "white folks love me, they just love me, Man"! Maybe I'm the next Barack Obama or Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. (laughing at myself). I have not been granted the lxury of the overt experience of the old face of Racism. I sometimes so long for it, I chase it with eagerness and yearning as I do a pretty woman. I guess, I will have to settle for the events that are more literate, well spoken and common the "new face of Racism." Example, I drive an older model car that is box shaped. I get pulled over for random searches. You say "thats normal ", no it is not by whom you think would pull me over. I gets pulled over by the Kneegrows Officers in a predominately white neighborhood. Get this next question I was asked, "Where's your grill at?"

This Face is seen on college coaches who reall despise other races, but recruit them because,"hey, they pay the bills." This face is one the black Women make when they see a white woman and a black man together. This face is not actually a face but an inherent action to things that buck against the system or status quo. The Face is as melodic as Billie Holliday. As Colorful as Warhol or Basqiat. This face is more graceful than an Alvin Ailey Production.

Nobody is exempt from this face, many Kneegrows are uncoscious of the steretypes they put on people. African American internalize events and place those memories all people. If someone uses their freewill and decidesnot to talk you it is not always racism. I don't know just maybe they dont want to talk to you. (laughing).
