Ginger. To help me understand your perspective, I need a sense of your personal experience with both, white and black people. Any insight you feel comfortable sharing would be helpful.

For example, have you enjoyed long friendships with black people who invite you to their homes for dinner, and you help each other out, or spend vacations or holidays with you? Do you confide in each other and trust each other’s advice? If yes, how did you meet these people – (at school, work, your neighborhood, a club etc.)? How often are you the only white person in a group of black people?

When you witnessed white men object to being called a racist, and white women taking center court are you talking about people you know personally and socialize with? If yes, what were the circumstances – were you at work, a party, a restaurant? How did you handle it?
