I didn't actually speak to a black person until I was 16. I grew up in a small redneck town of about 2,000. It was 98% white with some Mexicans. The town got its first black family when I was 16 and their son was in a few of my classes. Once you talked to him for five minutes you realized he was a cool guy. His family was also a nice family.
The crazy thing was how much racism he faced. He got called Ni@@er every day. There were kids who didn't want him on sports teams because he was black and didn't want to be in the same class as him because he was black. These were all kids that, like me, grew up in this town and had never known a black person, but they had been taught by there parents to not like black people. It was sad to see.
