I have 3 antique 1gal mason jars filled with my hard won pre-1970 marbles, all sizes, painted, clearsies, croakers, cats eyes, with a few clay and ball bearings thrown in. Unfortunately, destined for eBay or a yard sale one of these days. They made for a pretty decoration over the last ~55 years.

I went to school with niggers in the early 90's.

Marbles were never popular.

Oddly enough, spinning tops were extremely popular. The wood sort with string you pull to spin.

You spun dreidels with niggers? That sounds culturally enriching.

My origin story is filled with Niggers and Jews.

Quite frankly, I don't understand how most of you came to hate them.

I think all of you good Poalsters came to find Niggers and Jews distasteful via theory; you saw them in the media or read about their wrong-doing online.

I spent most of my formative years around niggers and kikes. The elementary school I went to was 90% nigger. After I left their, I went to a private Jr. High that was probably 80% kike.

I came to dislike them from practical experience.

I don't know about most of the people on poal, but I've had plenty of personal experience with both niggers (behaving violently/loudly/childishly) and kikes (generally conniving and trying to screw me over on business dealings).

I got sent to a half black school for middle school.

GOOD TIMES

You and I have similar backstories, and viewpoints, though I don't hate blacks, just much of their post millenial culture. They really embraced Thug Life, and this 3rd generation coming up under that umbrella is taking it's toll....

No nigs at my elementary, most last names were of english or irish decent. Saw my first nig in High School, was a couple grades behind me.

The small metal 6 pronged things (were they called jacks?) Were kind of popular. You would stand one on end, held in place by placing your finger on it to keep it standing, then flick with the index finger of the other hand to make it spin and release. They would spin for under a minute before they wobbled and tipped over. We were easily entertained. Super Balls, big wheels, super elastic bubble plastic, knockers all came out about the time I was coming of age so I missed out.

We played marbles back in my elementary school as well. The school (and township) were named after a German city, and the majority of the surnames were of German & Slavic descent. 100% White.
