My sister! This black man was raised in Louisiana and Mississippi and have gone through my share of sundown towns and I too have been spat on and called a nigger. I will never forget, but I’ve met some truly wonderful and beautiful Americans! Now that America was great!
I’ve lived in Louisiana too and graduated from a predominantly white college in Missouri, the only Blk English major. I have met beautiful Americans of all walks of life, even living overseas. I’m not pessimistic, but my reality is different from yours. No two people are the same. I respect that.
