Oh. Good grief. Daughter told me last night that I am “racist” because I expressed concern for our safety as we begin her apartment hunt in St. Louis.

Chatted with an older black woman yesterday while waiting on our rental vehicle. I cried, and she prayed over me.

A long time ago I was in Chicago for a trade show, and at noon I walked around downtown with a co-worker thinking we would find a place to grab lunch. We drifted a little and a cop stopped us and gave us a bit of safety advice followed by directions to a place he recommended. He was... umm... "not complimentary" about the population we were going to run into on our present course.

I suppose I could have accused him of racism, but calling a black cop a "racist" was something that did not occur to me.

When my husband was a at a VA Hospital, I inquired about a nearby motel. Both black security officers informed me that they would not recommend that I stay there. I didn't. Thanks men!
