I experienced this a lot in the Air Force.

I could see it hurt them that they had been taught such hurtful bigotry growing up.

@@msqueen3513 It’s a beautiful thing. Both of my folks served for over 20 years. My dad was a white dude and my mom is a Southern black woman - they rubbed shoulders with and befriended all types, they hated war but had/have tremendous respect for their fellow soldiers, and all of that gets passed down to army brats. It takes a cold soul to live with and depend on people from every corner of the planet and come out of the experience a bigot. I’m glad my parents taught me the right way.

Yes, exactly. It’s hard too explain sometimes when you come from a vicious family and you start to learn better. My great grandfather and Lester Maddox were dear friends. I had to tolerate Maddox’ presence from time to time clear up to my great grandmother’s 90th birthday. Every time I saw him I had spent the time between learning something else horrifying about him. I know one thing, I don’t belong in this family, neither do my children.

On my birthday a few weeks ago my Black Friend of 30 years surprised me with strawberries, chocolate, and a gift card. It had been a while, too long. But, we caught up on things. How do you heal racism in America? White People...reach out to a Black Person in Love and Friendship. Invite them to your home. Share life stories. Black People? Accept that invitation. One friendship at a time.

Thank you for that beautiful story! I’m black and my best friend is white. I admitted to her when we became comfortable with one another my guard was up when we first met. I’ve experienced racism a lot and still do. Our daughters became best friends because my daughter stood up to someone bullying her daughter. Our first play date she treated me like a sister! SHE HAS NEVER CHANGED. She has faced some racist moments with me as well. She stood strong and didn’t back down. We can talk about anything. I watch her kids so she can have a date with her husband and she does the same for me. It’s amazing the best friendship of my life came from a beautiful soul only after letting my guard down.

@@brucewilson1958 Mr. Wilson..... First, I doubt there is any relation , but my mother was born a Wilson. Secondly, I kindly appreciate those words of wisdom. I wanted to reply, my words seem to fail me sometimes. I was born in 63 and I didn't grow up rich either. My mother grew up picking cotton and guess what, she's white. No one believes white people picked cotton, all my family did. Anywho, my mother and dad worked hard to provide for us children. There were 7 mouthes to feed. We took 2 vacations my whole childhood. Those were to only visit 2 older children that happened to be stationed somewhere state side. If he had to spend money, it didn't happen. I do not understand why, because we are white, we have "connections or we're wealthy". My mother and dad worked hard, 12 hours a day while us kids looked after the other. Not to mention, my dad was born in 1914 lost his mother at a year old due to the flu like sickness. My grandfather and had 7 or 8 more kids. My dad saw the great depression, went to war. Got a job.

This is a beautiful story! HOWEVER, I spent 17 years in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and NEVER met a racist person. I saw, literally, dozens and dozens of interracial relationships and not once did someone say anything about them. Is there, at times, a racial awkwardness some people have? I guarantee it. But it’s not rampant and it’s not taught by 99.999% of anyone I have ever met. If she learned that behavior, shame on those who expressed those emotions. Racism, on any side, is abhorrent and one person is one too many. I hope these two have a wonderful future ahead of them and I hope the little one is shown all of us can get along and learn.

I knew her answer. I knew a white man there too. He used to be racist, I asked what changed your mind? While he served in Vietnam, he seen alot of death. He noticed a fellow soldier who was black, he was bleeding,he was bleeding red ,just like everyone else. That changed his mind and life. Respect comes in all shapes, size,race,color,sex,religion etc. What or how you use or demonstrate it,is up to you. Respect is earned,you can't give it away and expect people to return it the same way. Love shouldn't be color blind, neither should respect. Me personally would rather have a bf or be married to a man of color who loves me for me,respects me,is kind,caring,faithful, honest everything a man should be. Than a white man who beats,abuses,no respect,isn't kind,not loving etc.

That flag represents two different things to him and myself. However he is a good mechanic and I really don't know him personally. After seeing these two interacting with each other and the mindset the black guy had about not being judgemental and be more inquisitive and her mindset changing after coming out of her bubble made me realize that my approach and how I interact with this older white male might have hope if I go in humble because my feelings and emotions are leading to easily judge this man's beliefs and character and I don't want to make him out to be something he may not be.

I am sobbing. If I could possibly get past my initial reaction, like he says, "...how I normally would've responded...," I would love that. But my pure disgust and rage when confronted with the YTs like that is like a fiery scream tearing through my veins. I wish I was more peaceful and patient at times. This is how I would love to initiate change. Maybe this man's actions might change more than just the one young woman and her son's path. Might teach me to be more compassionate and have more of an open heart, and probably a few others. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤞🏾

So many ppl don’t have the courage to question anything outside of their ‘bubble’. Thinking and existing outside of the bubble is profound. How many things can be worked out and understood if we all ventured outside of our bubbles? Talking and listening with an open mind and heart changes everything.

My story is about Don and I. I bought discount tickets from him. He was such a fair guy and seemed super nice. We would always meet out in public so i felt safe and eventually we started meeting in restaurants over a meal like these two. He was such a lovely guy and he told me he was going through a divorce, i asked him to pray for the Lords intervention and he said pls don't be offended but i am not a religious person nor do i believe in God. I was shocked, Don is such a good guy how on earth isn't he an usher at church or a born again Christian? (Close minded thinking) I listened to his belief and i think it made me a non judgmental person. The more we listen, the more we learn. Even thou he doesn't practice a religion, he practiced putting out what you wish to receive hence being a good person. He lives better than most people i know. I walked away with new knowledge. Don and i shared the exact same values just through different belief systems. Two different people in so many ways yet same in we want to be good people and put out what we hope to get back.

I'm glad to see people embracing one another and sharing common ground. Where the world is headed in the very near future, We're all going to need to put our differences aside....

I totally agree. Racism is a plague and it's not even scientifically accurate to talk about different "human races." There is only one human race. Different ethnicities -- yes, but different races -- no. The word "ethnicity" is derived from the Greek root word, "ethnos," meaning nation. In fact, it's where we get the word, "ethnic" meaning "a member of a minority group who retains the customs, language, or social views of the group."

I suppose if you are from a region that has absolutely nothing, race and heritage is the only things you can be proud of and want to preserve. If your child starts dating a different race, that heritage can feel like it is being undermined. Most races have groups like that. Economically depressed and culturally isolated.
@tedreynolds6363
@tedreynolds6363 Год назад
@@tonykennedy8592 You're correct, and I agree with you, I'm just speaking from a general point of view with regard to the IDEA that the people who taught her that feel their heritage is somehow being threatened if she dated a man of a different race? I don't give a flying flip who my kids date, love, make love to, marry whatever. Your heart doesn't see race or color. See with your heart not your eyes when it comes to liking someone.

Well, no, they didn't really "meet in the middle," as the piece says. Joe didn't become a little bit racist so he could meet her half-way; Bethany abandoned her racism. That's a small but important distinction.
