We can't know what it is like to be anything other than what we are. I don't read HATE, I read fear. Racial tensions are building and they are being encouraged by the media and by the activists.
I don't think most people expect anything more from others, than they expect from themselves and their children. Many were looked down on for being children of immigrants when they were young. I do not think that any prejudice was as great or as awful as that against blacks in the past, but I think we have all come a long way from that kind of pre judging.
If you read that the majority of us believe in the work ethic, You're darn tootin', because that is how many of us got here.
