Seriously. If you live anywhere near a group of people, there will be a nice ethnic blend of Americans. It behooves everyone to treat each other decently, because in the end, all we have is each other.

I don't think you can find a place on earth where people are "race pure".

Which is anyway not positive.

The diversity enriches us and the miscegenation makes us stronger.

A friend had a laminated poster on his front door! (His dog would meet you at the gate and take you right to it!)

Wonderful and thank you!

It is sad we still have to fight racism in 2017.

Among all questionable concepts, racism is probably the most questionable.

My parents, fortunately, did. I said the "n" word once, I think I was 4. I do NOT like the taste of Ivory Soap!
