I am white and I have black friends....and gasp I live in the south. Also my neighborhood has a blending of families of multiple races and it is a nice middle class neighborhood. So tired of the divisiveness going on in America.
I have few friends and many acquaintances. I think if most people were honest with themselves they would find the same thing to be true in their lives. My upper middle class neighborhood in Madison, Alabama is racially and ethnically mixed. Fine by me. I don’t care who lives next to me, on my street or in my neighborhood just as long as they keep up their house/lawn, keep the noise down and mind their own business. If that makes me a CiT (Curmudgeon in Training) then so be it.
