The concrete/physical “acting out” of fear/hate toward the “dissed” (disrespected) that results in physical harm/death and/or the threat and fear of physical harm/death for the “dissed” disrespected.)

Physical racism is probably one of the easiest and most obvious forms of racism to detect. It is a physical attack with the ominous threat of harm and death. It is the beatings, the hangings, and the burnings. It is James Byrd Jr., Emmitt Till, Rosewood, Florida, the bombing of five little girls in church, the Central High School nine, the execution of Troy Davis and the bombing of Martin Luther King Jr.’s home, to name only a few.

Physical racism is the overt ACT of hate, racial hate.

I suggest that as we are now so appalled at the consequence of the

“BULLYING”

 of young and often gay children in schools that we begin to acknowledge that the Black community has always been the victim of bullying/bullies in the form of racial verbal and physical attacks. WE had/have been made afraid to go to . . . almost everywhere, for fear of harm. Henry Louis Gates Jr. was bullied in his own home.

America has been our bully.
