Kathy, Thats sick what ppl did to your ex. Do ppl 'bother' your son just because he is half black. I wonder, do you think several 'older' (todays grandparents of teens or 20s) people are worse? My dad used to call brazil nuts n***** toes & my FIL often talks down some if talking about some black guy. I admit I came home from a concert & told my 19 yr old DD & her BF that black guys sing good blues. They both then had a look like 'Listen to that, you mean so & so sings good). It seems like 3 or so generations ago ppl talked bad, adults of today aren't too bad & many kids are better. Do they learn in school & that they often hear/are taught, RACE DOESN"T MATTER ONE BIT? Do you remember "you can't judge a book by it's cover"? But I'm sure some white ppl are talked down about or to, because they are white.
I hope no one is offended by these words.

I just remembered telling my friend that I was glad alot of black kids 'went to our school.' The school most of my GS friends went to was mostly white & they didn't have as much a chance to be with a black person. This was in the 70's.

Please no one say anything offensive to others. I just wanted to know if you think anything is getting better.
