Racism is not normal

Many people in my generation grew up in towns that were segregated. The Blacks lived in one part of town and went school in that part and shopped in that part. It was unusual to go downtown where people might mix because most people stayed in their neighborhood. In today's world many wonder if they have racist tendency and they are disturbed if when a Black man walks in the room that is the first thing they notice about him. Relax. If a man six foot eight walks in the room the first thing you notice is his height. If a man with a patch over his eye walks in the room that is the first thing you notice. People tend to notice things that are out of the norm, things that are unusual. It is said that you can't prove a negative and thus it is difficult to prove you are not racist.
