I Hate Racism and Discrimination
My parents raised me right. Both of them worked with black people all their lives at one time or another. They taught me that you can get along with them if you treat them with courtesy and pleasantness.
When I went into the working world, I was ready. I worked alongside people of color and went through school with a Chinese boy who was born in Hawaii, as were his older sister and brother. In 1968 (my last year in grammar school) the schools were integrated. Both my brothers had black students in their classes, and my nephew had a black woman teacher for his first couple of years in my old school. As he put it, "What difference does that make?"
Yes - what difference DOES it make? None to me.
