Me too
Since I am responsible for myself, I'm ok.
You feel things much more intensely than I. Since I did not lynch anyone, my forefathers didn't own slaves and I don't discriminate on the basis of race, I feel fine
Then go ahead and feel fine. That's your conscience. I hate the hurt that I see in my black brothers and sisters eyes as they are treated disrespectfully daily for their skin color. I know because I visit with them. It's an important conversation.
For example I checked in for a CAT Scan. I asked the black finance gal "My I ask a race question. I don't expect you to answer for all blacks people but just yourself. Do you hear the n word still?" "Yes but it's more attitude." "Me : "How do?"
"Service personnel attitude or clients simply tossing or throwing things across the table worth any respect that I'm human."
Me: "I had hoped it was stopped." Her: "it hasn't but guys like you fighting the good fight it helps. Thank you."
You may be terrific in your race relations. The next level is helping others. That's my witness and. Way. The Finance gal said "Thank you being honest and fighting. Bless you ."
Humble brag. Sure. But it the way forward.
