Love Trust and Prejudice

Well... I am beginning to understand.

Many Black friends speak of the pain of not being trusted by White people, no matter how well dressed, what good life led, what job held, going into a store and being followed, watched... not trusted. The same is true in deep friendship or love. Love and friendship must be based on trust.
No one who has not experienced the pain of being judged by the actions of others can understand that pain. Friends... please ... just be present and open to each other - the pain caused by such treatment is greater than can be understood or born.
