The driver raised his hand to each car he passed as an acknowledgement I suppose of our respect for them.
That's the real world we live in. It's how life really is in the South.

Honestly, that's how life is in most parts of this country. It's not as divided anywhere as the media portrays.

I have White Sox season tickets (pardon the subtle brag), and I have blacks, whites, and Mexicans in my section. We ALL just talk baseball, and high five, and hug each other when good things happen.

A black couple who sits near me wears matching Moncada jerseys (a Cuban player), while I have a Tim Anderson jersey (a black dude from Tuscaloosa of all places). Racial tribalism is largely a myth.

Most Americans are good, respectful people, and most Americans realize that. And we get along fine with each other, regardless of race, religion, or background.
