I grew up and have spent my life in various parts of the U.S.–the South (Arkansas, Virginia), the Midwest (Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas), and the north (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Idaho).

I have had the opportunity to associate with several races, and have a great respect for them. But you are correct. I still have areas of concern, puzzlement and even suspicion of the different races and their cultures…

I KNOW LOGICALLY that as “whites”, we do not have the “only true culture”, and I would never outwardly act against anyone of another race. But to apply that logic EMOTIONALLY, is another story altogether. I have felt badly that my inner thoughts don’t always equal my outer behavior toward others, but I suppose I am only one among many! I guess at least my outer behavior is appropriate…

The choice between the 2 doors in the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance is a stunning example. Thank you for sharing.

I hope to continue to improve my inner thoughts toward others–so that someday I might truly be “color-blind”!
