I have a friend who is black, she was my neighbor in Cincinnati. She posted a picture on Facebook of the recent gathering in Washington, protesting police violence. She said "Isn't that beautiful?" It was a picture of thousands and thousands of people protesting police violence. I didn't know how I felt about that, I very much support the police, but I like her and respect her very much.

I have no idea how to change things, but I think people are taught to hate and probably to be frightened of anyone who is different. If you go way back, the bogey man was always black. The good guy is always white. I really have no clue, but I have to admit it has probably been easier to get through life being Caucasian.
