It is sad that it has gotten this bad, but like Dennis, it is way too early to lose hope.
I rent a storage locker for work. It’s not the most convenient location but I’ve stayed because of the manager.
He’s young, black, married and a good father. In that order.
We had some great conversations and he always told me how he learned wisdom from me, an old white married father.
We were able to talk race, Christianity and raising kids.
He recently left for another job.
I may move my stuff to another location.

I was in the EM Club at NOB in Norfolk in 1964 sitting with a black shipmate, a fellow named Murray, from the Chicago area. A TV was on by the bar, and a news report was featuring some civil rights demonstrations. He said, "Lots of your people here, lots of my people here, and we're all getting along". I don't remember my response, but I doubt it was something clever like "We're all Blue here".
