I’m a white woman. Please let me explain why I’m uncomfortable with blacks. Back in the 80′s I attended a state college in MA. Black guys would stretch across the stairs in the Student Union and make the white students step over them to get up or down the stairs. They had no intention of assimilating or making friends with white students. Then there was the time I was in a CVS and the next customer in a long line. A new register was opened and as I stepped forward a black woman who had been at the end of the line rushed to the newly open register, gave me a dirty look, and said “you slow, you blow.” These are just a couple of the incidents I remember in my dealings with blacks. There are many more but I think you get the point. On the other hand, I’ve seen so many instances where whites have gone out of their way to accomodate blacks.

The point I’m trying to make is that blacks have to do their part and get the chip off their shoulders before there will ever be goodwill between the races.
