Born to Love — Taught to Loathe

McNeil was born and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York where some of his earliest encounters with racism were as a child of the Pan-African/Black Power Movement. As a elementary student at a Progressive Pro-Black Family School in the 1970s, between Swahili studies and Black History courses, his school’s hands-on approach to “soc...more Born to Love — Taught to Loathe

McNeil was born and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York where some of his earliest encounters with racism were as a child of the Pan-African/Black Power Movement. As a elementary student at a Progressive Pro-Black Family School in the 1970s, between Swahili studies and Black History courses, his school’s hands-on approach to “social studies” often placed him and his classmates, placards in hand, on the frontlines of protest marches, boycotts and demonstrations against everything from police brutality and shootings of unarmed black children in New York to apartheid in South Africa and corporate-sponsored civil war in Angola.

In the early ‘80s, while disco was on its deathbed and hip-hop was a Rug-Rat in diapers, the author was a teen member of a notorious urban cult which touted black supremacy in a volatile community fraught with racial tension, and whose membership rolls held such illustrious names as Rakim, Queen Latifah, Method Man, and Big Daddy Kane.

The author then takes readers on a scintillating and informative journey through the heart and soul of America as a U.S. Army soldier, which he characterized as “a propaganda pressure cooker” yet “a brilliant way to address racial ignorance,” and then back to New York for a bout with corporate bigotry and interracial romance as a university student in Brooklyn. It was at university that he experiences something so surprising and soul-rocking that it will racially alter the course of his life forever. At least, he thought so…then came Japan.

Prompted by his mind-altering experiences in the Land of the Rising Sun, McNeil uses anecdotes and insights from both his youth and his years in Japan to illustrate the insidious nature of racism, and the dangers of responding to it with apathy.

A book that is both a memoir and an impassioned call to arms, Hi! My Name is Loco and I am a Racist tells us in no uncertain terms that while racism continues to be demonized as a dark aberration that only “evil people,” ignorant fools, or people lacking compassion and common decency are subject to, then it will remain at large – hiding in plain sight, in our schools, offices, carpools, living rooms and sometimes even in the mirror.(less)

It ended on just the right sweet note, but with a rich, complex flavor.

I was glad he went back strong to the empty chair. It was always a great analogy.

Throughout the book, the author used the perfect analogy for what it is like to be on the receiving end of racist attitudes here in Japan, the "empty chair". But it is more than just the empty chair; it is also the gaijin space on the train, the empty urinal, the glance behind, the furtive stares and every single moment that reminds us that however long we are here in Japan and no matter how "well behaved" we are, we are always first and foremost "gaijin" and when someone sees us for the first time, that is all we are.

Back to the empty chair. It is, as Loco said, the one experience that every non-Asian foreigner here in Japan has expressed and he also correctly went on to say that it is one that we must all learn somehow to deal with in order to go on and make it here. Furthermore, it is one's attitude vis a vis the "empty chair" that is the "tell" for what type of person we are; a "shitkicker", a "poser" or an "oblivious" (his 3 types of racists). But I think it tells us even more about ourselves than that. It tells us whether we are apologists for the subtle (and (in my mind unintentional) racism or are we the kind of "Japan haters" that see y=transgressions everywhere they look. Microaggressions in compliments and hatefulness in what are merely curious stares.

In either case, what Loco REALLY drove home in his perfect ending is that the empty chair is really a mirror that we can use to see ourselves. Yes, we are in a foreign country and yes, some people pre-judge foreigners and yes, they treat whites, blacks and asians differently based on racist notions. Yes, yes, yes. But that it beyond our control ultimately and all we CAN control is what grows in our hearts and minds. And what that empty chair does to us is insidious and silent. It plants things in OUR minds that we are often unaware of. Resentment, envy, irritation, anger -all emotions that will bite us on our own ass as we grow and warp into our own racist monster. But the throw-up-your-hands dismissal of it as "no big deal" (as I can be accused of doing) is, perhaps, an even more subtle racist danger because in doing so, aren't we really being condescending? When we say that the Japanese are just "simpler" about racist issues because they are an island nation, etc, aren't we really subtly cutting them down and thinking of them as "below" us in our complexity and worldliness?

In any case, "Hi. My Name is Loco and I'm a Racist" was a transforming read. I hope I will be forgiven for daring to compare its effect on me to how I felt when I finished the "Autobiography of Malcom X". I know that might sound like it is overdoing it, but it is how I felt. Loco's awareness and sensitivity to all perspectives on the issue is impressive to say the least. So much so that one can feel his understanding and also, ultimately, his forgiveness come through the pages, like a blessing of self-forgiveness.

Racism is something that many people can experience in their lives. As the only Jewish person in an all Italian neighborhood in Long Island's West Islip (A kind of Suffolk County version of Howard Beach), I grew up with even people I thought friends throwing pennies at me, calling me "bagel boy" and drawing swastikas on my books and locker. And that was everyday shit. It stays with you in your unconscious attitude, the tension in your shoulders -unless you become aware of it.

I want to thank Baye McNeil for the gift of the empty chair as a mirror. It is one I plan on looking into every time it is offered to me in any form from now on.(less)

Loco is a damn good writer. I've followed his blog for a while and he knows how get people talking.

Part of this book follows his life in Japan, part his background in the States. I found the stuff he wrote about Japan a lot more interesting. To be honest, I skimmed over the section of his military career.

Having lived in Japan, I could identify with the racism he encounters. Sure, he's a black man from the States and I'm a white woman from Australia so we've experienced in different ways. I've ne...more

There are so many books available about living in Japan, and it would be easy to assume that 'Hi! My Name is Loco and I am a Racist' was just another one. I've read (or at least bought, or wish-listed) an awful lot of accounts of foreigners living in Japan.

My Name is Loco and I am a Racist' was just another one. I've read (or at least bought, or wish-listed) an awful lot of accounts of foreigners living in Japan. It was interesting before I lived in Japan to get an idea of what I might be in for, and it's interesting now to compare my experiences with others. Some stories make me nod my head and agree (yes, I had that experience too!), others make me laugh out loud because they're so full of stereotypes and border on the ridiculous.

However, Loco's book is not like the others, not at all. It is set in Japan for the most part, and does provide an insight into living in Japan as a foreigner, but Loco's experience is not something I can easily compare to my own or relate to. It's not just a book about an American living in Japan, it's a book about a black American living in Japan, and that's one of the things that makes it different. While many people would skirt around the issue of race and not want to offend anyone, Loco Puts it right out there on the cover and says "look at me, I'm a black guy living in Japan, and I'm a racist".

I'd never really thought that much about race before reading 'Hi! My Name is Loco and I am a Racist'. In fact, if I'm totally honest, if this book had been about a black American living in another country instead of Japan, I probably wouldn't have read it. But then I would have missed out. Surely one of the keys to not being racist is to be able to see things through other people's eyes, and reading Baye's beautifully written, intelligent book certainly did allow me to see Japan in a very different way.

If you're looking for a book about teaching English in Japan, this may or may not be it. I think it could put some people off, despite the glimmer of hope at the end of the book, following the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011: "I could see that Japanese were not permanently members of the cult of Different Therefore Dangerous. There was hope." But I think people should read this book, and not let it put them off living in Japan, whatever their background. So what if there's an empty chair beside you? It was the empty chair that gave birth to Loco, his blog and his book, I for one am grateful for that.

What can I tell you? Even though I wrote it, I love reading it. Writing, for a writer, is often as much a time of discovery as it is for the readers, so reading my book reminds me of how much I learned prior to writing it, during the writing and editing of it, and as a result helps me by giving me a hint as to where to go next with my writing.

Once a professor told me that after studying medicine, psychiatry and becoming a doctor in literature, she discovered that the only place she found true humanity was in autobiographical literature. It unfolds in so many levels, and so many elements of fiction and reality meet in the craft, that it is the literary genre that reveals the most about the richness of human essence. Loco's book reassured that belief in a stronger way than any of the autobiographies I have read ever did. His narration...more

Baye McNeil ‘aka’ Loco hails from Brooklyn, New York, where he was born and raised, but now currently resides in Yokohama, Japan. Loco recounts various forms of racism he experienced starting as a child in elementary school where he studied Swahili and Black History during the Black Power Movement. He was part of boycotts, marches and demonstrations against that which was unjust. As a teenager he watched his brother become part of The Nation of Gods and Earths, otherwise known as the Five Percenters. He eventually joined and was known as the God Unique. While he was part of this group he learned a valuable lesson on how racism from others could affect a friendship.

As a young man, he joined the United States Army because he knew it would be his opportunity to get a good education. There, with a group of men of diverse backgrounds, he also experienced bouts of racism. It took someone who he thought hated him in the Army to show him that his purpose was meant somewhere else.

Loco returned home to Brooklyn where he attended the University. During that time he became involved in an interracial relationship. His own racism came into play. When questions were brought up, he realized that, yes, even he was a racist.

When he decided to take a job in Japan as an English teacher, he not only received a culture shock, but he experienced a different side of racism from the Japanese. Riding the trains, everyone refused to sit next to him. In restaurants and cafes, if there was an empty table nearby, they would search all over for something other than the table near him. In the beginning Loco was angry, but near the end he tried to rationalize what it was about the Japanese that felt like someone of color was a threat. He even began to make a game of it.

When it comes down to it, with his stories and experiences, eventually he realizes that not only are they racist to a fault but so is he.

“Hi! My Name Is Loco And I Am A Racist” by Baye McNeil is one man’s honesty and blunt feelings on how racism has affected not only him as a youth in the 70s up until today but also how it makes someone feel either being on the receiving end of racism or the one dishing it out. Mr. McNeil is eloquent in his words, yet harsh and brash at the same time. It is only because he is being as real on this topic as he possibly can. No holds barred! Now, if you are a person of color thinking of visiting Japan, this would be an excellent novel to read. If you are just looking for a good read that tells of one man’s experiences, you are going to get it raw and as real as it gets in this novel.

“Hi! My Name Is Loco And I Am A Racist” is thought provoking and it will really make you wonder if that person looking back in the mirror could be a racist too.

It’s hard to describe this book – it’s a real one-off. Despite the provocative title I would classify it as an autobiography, by a black man who wants to reach out to other people sincerely and directly and demands that others respond in kind.

I say ‘black man’ deliberately because being black is what has formed Loco’s consciousness of himself and his relationship to the world. So, while he is funny and truthful about his sometimes explosive encounters in Japan’s homogenous society where even tod...more

El libro no habla de "uy, que racistas son los japoneses" (que lo son) y no los sataniza, al contrario, hace que uses el malévolo asiento vació (de nuevo, vean la portada) y te preguntes que representa, que dejes de hacerte o sentirte la víctima, el problema con el racismo en países como México y Brasil es que la gente de inmediato se desmarca, ¿cómo van a ser racistas ellos? , eso sólo los villanos de las películas y los "malos" o "malditos" , y por eso nunca se toma al toro por los cuernos, Japón tiene su fijación con el cabello rubio y los ojos azules, cierto, pero eran una isla, y encima estuvieron aislados, al día de hoy siguen viviendo las secuelas de sus castas y el shogunato, pero hasta que te has visto al espejo, has admitido que algo de racista hay en ti, pues sólo entonces podrás hacer una diferencia.

EL libro no es sólo de racismo, nos cuenta como llego a estar "Loco" en Japón, su experiencia del 9/11, la del tsunami de 3/11/11, su formación, su paso por el ejercito, sus problemas siendo un negro que despreciaba a otros negros.

Es una obra increíble, y pensar que es su primer libro, aunque cierto, él tiene formación de escritor, y aunque muchos lo denostan, también ha escrito por un largo tiempo en formato de blog.

No puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente, todos deberíamos leerlo, porque todos tenemos muy presente el asunto de la raza, aún si somos "posers" (de acuerdo a sus clasificaciones) y queremos creer que vivimos en un anuncio de Benetton.

Baye's obviously a person who watches people and his environment with eagle eyes. Then, he churnes over the meanings that bubbles beneath the surface of life. His writing style is highly engaging, strong and straight forward which meant I finished this book in no time.

He took his life story and turned it into a memoir called Hi! My Name Is Loco and I Am a Racist.

I loved Baye's writing from the first post of his I ever read. Admittedly, initially, I thought he was a little angry. (Sometimes he was.) But he was never dismissive of someone else's ideas - he was always willing to consider a different point of view. I quickly found the discussion sections of his blog to be the most insightful. And he was open to any question - even silly questions from a white chick like me. And he was open to changing his perspective.

This book of his is no different. He looks at himself in a mirror that most people aren't willing to hold. Baye shares stories of how he was taught to hate (in defense of being hated) and how he continues to fight those internal demons. He shares how race has impacted many of the relationships in his life, personally and professionally.

Beyond being a open discussion about racial tensions and pressures in America and the world, Baye's own story is compelling. He grew up in New York, did a stint in the military and college, and ultimately ended up teaching English in Japan. Baye found the love of his life and lost her. She left him a legacy of encouragement to "write!" and be the real writer he was meant to be. He was in New York City the day the twin towers were brought down and (exactly 9 1/2 years later) he was in Japan the day it rocked with an earthquake that changed the Japanese landscape but not the Japanese people.

Baye's constant companion throughout his time in Japan is an empty seat on a train. He does a beautiful job of weaving the importance of this unlikely character throughout his memoir. She buffers him and angers him and teaches him to dig for the truth.

Ultimately, what I enjoyed most about this book is the way that it showcases how overwhelming stereotypes can be and how insignificant they become in one-on-one relationships. And I love how Baye constantly looks for (and generally finds) the good in others and in himself.

I highly recommend this book as a fabulous tale and a needed lesson. You can purchase it here. I myself have a signed copy. (Don't hate ;-) )

If you are readers of McNeil's excellent "Locohama" blog, you will find much that is familiar here. For readers new to McNeil's work, you will find a thought provoking meditation on identity, race and personal growth.

McNeil really challenges the human mind to see the world through a different perspective. Very edgy. This book captures the hardships of life so clearly and realistically. Nothing is sugar coded in this book, and those who are too sensitive when it comes to the topic of racism should think twice before picking up this mater piece. Please have a very very open and understanding mind if you plan to read this book.

This is such a powerful book--striking, passionate, and eye-opening. The stories are poignant and well-written. I learned so much about the cultures of New York City, things that I just never knew growing up in the Midwest and South. It was fascinating to view Japanese culture through this lens, and to find similarities across all the cultures involved.
