And in all fairness to both, There are just as many people on both sides who understand that human being has no color and so I play with them. There are good and bad on both sides, there are enlightened and ignorant or silly on both sides.

I think the hardest part would be NOT KNOWING when it would pop up and with whom.

It shouldn't be remarkable. The horrid thing is that they see something off or wrong with that whole other segment of humanity. And not only that, that they didn't bother to REPENT about it before a holy God. They should be asking HIS forgiveness, instead of flippantly saying such things to your face. <br /><br />HOW can someone recognize such evil in themselves, and casually chat about it as though YOU did something special to merit their friendship? It's twisted!<br /><br />Do they think you don't have feelings like all the other black people, too??! GOOD GOLLY I don't know why I'm astounded sometimes.<br /><br />What on earth can you say to that? "I used to like you before you said that" or, "I'm so sorry, but you don't know me well enough YET" do come to mind. :/<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.com
