Two weeks ago my wife & I and my elderly mother were in an Olive Garden restaurant, seated in an area well away from the usual traffic. Before long a group of blacks came in & occupied a table for sixteen nearby to us. Adults & children, all sizes & ages.
Within five minutes I realized that if I hadn’t seen them come in I wouldn’t have known what color they were. The conversation was normal, the children well behaved, all were polite to the wait staff, they talked of back to school & other things, if we listened closely.
We continued our meal, but pleasantly surprised? Of course, given the headlines of the last few months.
You and your family were, to say the least lucky.
