I'm sorry your son has had to endure the effects of bigotry. It is sad that so many continue to be so small minded, that they would hate someone just because of the color of their skin.

I'm a firm believer of live and let live, do no harm and be the best person possible in life. I am however very concerned about so many today walking around blaming everything wrong in their lives on others. People, no matter what their race, need to take responsibility for their own successes and failures. Discrimination exists in many areas in this country and crosses all race boundries. Ask any person, male, female, black, white, hispanic, asian, over 50, disabled, jewish, muslim, etc., if they have ever experienced discrimination, and I think you will get a resounding yes.

I hope your son has great successes in his life. I am sure you must be a very proud Mom!

Hugs,
Carolyn
