White in a Black Neighborhood
July 23, 2009 | Tucson, Arizona | Vetting explained
Posted by:
Does anyone ever consider that being white in America is not so easy either? I lived in the deep south for 3 years and I was shocked at how I was treated by the black population. Discriminated against at every turn. This was done to a woman that was kind to everyone regardless of color or gender etc. I was saddened by this experience, but it also made me realize how discrimination makes one feel - I vowed never to do it to anyone, regardless of how they treated me.
