unfortunately, it's what happens. Minorities get things dismissed all the time. In another online forum, I told a brief story of something that happened to me Saturday night. I was at a restaurant where the owner came out and greeted everyone in the restaurant except for me. One person dismissed me, saying I was reading and the guy probably didn't want to bother me. In essence, he interrupted every other table where people were talking to each other, was rude in that sense, but he had too much courtesy to greet me? Please! But that kind of thing happens all the time, both sides, and I'm in the north.

No argument here. This is a disgrace. What else can I say? I can tell a few stories, myself...And I am definitely in the North.

Unfortunately, humanity seems doomed to repeat errors of the past, as there seem always to be folks who never learn. Some do not want to, while others are in complete denial that there are yet bridges to cross, and gaps to close, with regard to the lingering presence of racism.

It is easy to dismiss, isn't it, when one is privileged not to be the victim...Thankfully, there remain people with sense. We just need more of them, within the institution of justice, among others arenas, where racial inequity continues to thrive...

We deal with it, then we move on.
