4. No, I get it.

I do. It's just sad. There's a lot of hate between/among all people. I was eating at a Chinese restaurant with some black friends. There was a problem with the order and the Chinese owner came out and started berating my friends and used the "You people" phrase. We all got up and walked out before eating. We did not pay and there was nothing they could do about it.

As much as I try, as a white southern woman I could never really walk in their shoes. But, I can do what I can to see truth.
