P.S.
Again, a good decade or more ago, we were visiting in Cincinnati Ohio where our son had been recruited out of grad school into Proctor and Gamble Corporation.....
Knowing there had been recent riots, a week prior.......we gingerly made our way around, getting lost in the inner city, etc.........before we ultimately found our destination............it brought back memories of our youth and the riots in Newark, N.J............so there are two sides to every story.......there is good and not so good in all types of people. No one type of person should be elevated to a pedestal. I prefer to take each one individually.........when our daughter used to work in Boston teaching English, she was befriended by a nice young married Jamaican man and his wife.........they would walk with her from the "T" (train) through the "combat zone" which anyone knows who knows Boston.......and I felt that she was safer. They are the ones she invited her her wedding in Vermont.........with their beautiful baby. They are still friends. When we were just up there, our grand daughter had a beautiful friend from Haiti visiting the home..........nice little girl. Again, my kids are all color blind.
