re: Before all this woke stuff started several years ago, didn’t race relations seem good?

I remember thinking that at the time. 10 to 15 years ago I remember thinking everyone got along pretty well. Especially young people.


I was on a military base yesterday afternoon. I noticed people of all races got along just fine, both active duty and retired folks. Keeping in mind this is the deep south, it made me wonder why it can't be like this everywhere.

For the people that say this, I wonder how many actually have meaningful conversations about race relations with their black friends, co-workers, colleagues, etc. Because I do agree on a day-to-day basis in everyday life, things seem fine. But what is the life like for the black woman I joked around with at the store the other day? While our interaction was fine, how often does she face prejudice in her life? How often has she been the victim of racism in her life?

Maybe she hasn't experienced much of it, but it is something to ponder.
