"I asked him if he ever hung out with black guys in high school and he said, 'Well, no. They always had these angry looks on their faces. Who wouldn't look ticked off having to deal with nitwits like him?"
- Al Roker
About this Quote
This quote by Al Roker is a reflection on the racial divide that still exists in our society. It speaks with the concept that even in high school, there was a clear separation between white and black students. The speaker is asking a white person if he ever socialized with black people in high school, and the reaction is telling. The person says that black individuals always had "angry looks on their faces," indicating that they were not thinking about engaging with him. This could be because of the speaker's own prejudices, or because of the method he was treated by other white people. Either way, it is a pointer of the racial divide that still exists in our society and the need for more understanding and acceptance between different races.
