This is just my opinion. In my experience it seems that most folks like to broaden their horizons. They like to experience new foods, cultures, sights, sounds, etc. But, there are some that are uncomfortable or even afraid to leave their comfort zone, and I feel sorry for those people. I have been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in my life, seen quite a bit of the world and everywhere I have been I have found people to be generally friendly. I don't think our problems are as much about race, but about ideology and education (or lack of education). While travelling around the US, I have met nice folks who have never been out of their state or, in some cases, even their county, yet they will proudly proclaim the US is the best country in the world. While I agree with them, I ask myself "how can they be so certain". Like a child that hates spinach, but has never tasted it.
Your post mentions BLM. There are many groups that have many agendas and often the expressed agenda is not the true agenda. Hate groups use"the race card" because they know it is a very effective and decisive tool. However, if we are going to advance peacefully and positively into a better world, the truly sincere leaders of our communities must find common ground and expose the hate groups for what they truly are.
