These definitely are trying times, and it seems so many loud voices are trying to divide and put people into boxes that they want to define. I do not believe that the vast majority of people go along with that, but we don't have the mega platforms that those others do. I am tired of being called names because I am white and some white person made crude comments or horrible acts against someone of another color...... just as I'm sure you are tired of being called names because someone black did something horrible. Our society seems to be declining right before our eyes..... IF we listen to the TV or radio. It's a whole different story if we just get out and about and see the folks in our areas. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You are right..... my cardiologist, whom Joe and I love and admire, is the most beautiful shade of dark black. Oh, and another thing, people with black skin don't show their age like people with white skin do. One of the other students (who was black) in nurse's training and I were often paired together. I was 18 and I assumed she was just a couple years older than me. One day, we were talking and I said something about us being about the same age. She laughed and told me that she had children my age. Years later, we worked together at the hospital, and I looked older than her! It's the same way with other friends I have who have black or brown skin.... like Brightsmiles.... darn, I hate them! rofl. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Hello Sewg......Thank you for sharing this. I never thought that a white person would be envious of black folk for their skin color. That is because I like a lot of black folk were always told that there was nothing about our color that was nice and we believed it back in the day. I always wanted to have hair like your folk had and I had very long and thick hair and I hated getting it straightened. I would cry when my grandmother took me to the hairdresser because it hurt when the hairdresser would try to untangle and straighten it. Then when I was grown and working they invented this hair straightener that a lot of black women used. So I figured I must get mine done also.......I did and that stuff burned my scalp but I wanted to look good so I got my hair "permed" until I retired. When I retired I finally learned that I was beautiful with my skin tone and nappy hair and that I should be proud of it which I am now. I feel good in my skin now so I wear my hair natural now.

Good people aren't about the color of their skin... It may appear to be black and white but it's really about good and evil..that knows no color

I get it......I wasn't going to comment.....I couldn't think of anything to say, but then I came back and saw Hank(cajunjoe)'s blog and it made me so sad and angry.......I know people learn it as children.......that's the excuse or explanation....I have never personally ever seen or heard that level of mindless prejudice expressed........I can't imagine the agony it causes you or the emotional labour it must take to build the layers of protection Black people in the US need in order to protect themselves and their families from the onslaught........I don't have the words, but know that I respect and feel for you.......

I am not prejudiced, never have been and never will be ! People are people regardless of their color or nationality and Alfie and I both agree on this!

I remember giving my granddaughter a black doll for her birthday, by mistake, but she loved it and never noticed the colour of the doll. Her other grandmother wondered if I was trying to teach her about racism!! I was first made aware of raciist behaviour when I went to Michigan long time ago. I was with my husband. A black man sat beside me on the bus and we had a short conversation until the driver threw him off the bus. I couldnt : believe it
