It's not race, exactly. It's cultural

I don't want to be a racisct. But I don't see anything that I can do on my own that would prevent moving in that direction.

Just always remember, it's not race, exactly. It's cultural. Race-id plays a part in their minds, but it need not be so for us.

I once got jumped and had both eyes blackened by six black guys. This was decades ago, more friendly era & place, so I didn't get cut or killed. It was just their way of saying howdy to the stupid white kid tripping through the wrong neighborhood. I'm not excusing them. Just saying I could hold it against blacks in general, except...

I can honestly testify that some of the very best people I've known, role models of loving service, duty to family, and strength in faith, have been black. I try to keep them in mind.
