You're right. T...Thanks for your comment, Tony! You're right. There is a terrible disconnect! All these years, I thought that race relations in the U.S. were just chuggin' right along, getting better and better. The Internet has splashed cold water in my face. We definitely need to talk about the issue if it's going to improve. Thank you for reading. See you on the Facebook. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02127177435320546422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725173217533756483.post-24842031050329085382016-09-11T06:44:20.246-07:002016-09-11T06:44:20.246-07:00Thank you for taking the time to put all of this i...Thank you for taking the time to put all of this into words. I could not have said it better myself and suffice to say, you've summarized and crystallized my thoughts so very eloquently! <br /><br />I think that part of the problem in our society today is that there is an unfortunate disconnect between the white American experience and the black American experience. For my part, I can go out into the world, drive my car wherever, without fear of being unfairly scrutinized, profiled, or otherwise singled out (or beaten or shot!) because of my appearance. However, I have black friends who have expressed a very real fear for the well=being and safety of their families and for themselves when interacting in society. Its difficult to understand the minority perspective when you've never been the minority. Thank you again, Andrea, for sharing your views.
