Perhaps I should have said Racially Sensitive comment. I'll apologize for that.
I hope I don't come across as someone who tries to say I have never had race issues come up in my 55 year long career, because that would be a deception.
I've had Black people work for me, and I have had to work for Black people above my pay-grade as well. And there were challenging times, let me tell you.
But man, I buried those hatchets a long time ago now. Overall, I treasure some of these times now in retrospect, and have met some wonderful people through the years to look back on.
I've seen each generation of Black People I've worked with progress, over each last one, and I really don't even like to refer to them as Blacks anymore- JUST PEOPLE! And the same thing goes for all races of people. I'm not totally colorblind, but I truly don't judge races any differently than my own White race anymore.
It was the way it had to be for me to just be happy with myself, as I have had racist thoughts in the past, and over time, I didn't feel comfortable about it.
I've learned to love all these people now, Blacks, Latinos, Orientals, Middle Easterners, Brits, Euro Whites, and American Indians alike.
I would like to see us all do our part to get along! I try to practice the Golden Rule with everyone!
I hope you understand, because I am proud of my life.
Thanks!
And a black person is STILL more likely to be killed by another black person then by a cop or a white person. Demonstrable irrefutable fact and you REFUSE to deal with it. Sad
