Only one way to
clean up the Race Card
Stop having a Race
Card?
I grow up a Mohiigan
I guess that was my "Race Card?"

T included a
classmate in a drawing at school.
He wrote the child’s
name and put a label beside the picture.
Black.
Another student
informed the teacher who took T aside and explained they do not use terms like
white and black at school because those words can hurt feelings.
His teacher assured
me he was using the word as a descriptor and not out of meanness.
I get it. And I
don’t get it. And I get it.

Stop having a Race

A child does not
know anything about race or color this must be taught!

Karen, you and your
husband need to take your family to a non-White family and become
"Good
Friends."
Don't know any?
Find some.
I truly believe that
any non-African-American for instance, that shows up at a African American
Church and asks permission to join the service will be purged from the race
card for life.
I grew up in a mixed
town, if you will, and my friends were all great friends,
get it?
As a youngster a few
of us would spend time on the weekend outside the window or door to a small
church enjoying the music until one day we got caught.
This old man invited
us in to visit and from that day on I was hooked on friendship, still did not
know about a Race Card until I moved south, not even while I was in the navy
although I found out years later that it was there and even on my two ships?
People did not tech
me about color and or race!
People taught me how
to enjoy friendship.
