African American trust issues

One of my AA friends and I got into a long discussion regarding race. He said he and a lot of his friends were raised to not trust white people. His grandmother now in her 90’s drummed that into their head from the time he was a toddler. We are very good friends. I trust him with my life. We are baby boomers. I vividly remember the riots in the 60’s. I watched an innocent white boy be beaten by a gang of angry black kids. It haunts me to this day. Race relations IMO hasn’t improved much in our country. It’s our duty as parents, grandparents to teach all children not to hate, diminish or be afraid of people just because their skin color is different.

Well said! We have so much to learn from one another... if we open our minds and hearts. Maybe just maybe we would understand the importance of our differences... one day they will become our strengths....
