Thank you, Justin, for writing this article. As the mother of a son who is half African-American, I have experienced the frustration of not being able to protect my child from acts of racism. I once watched horrified as a white woman in a shoe store took a look at my son and ran over to grab her purse, which she had set down on a chair nearby (this actually occurred in Los Gatos, which is in Silicon Valley.) I wanted to go over and slap her. I also vividly remember the day my son came home crying the first time someone called him the “N” word (it was a friend that he used to play with.) Back in 1980 when he was born, I stupidly thought these types of things were mostly behind us, especially here in the S.F. Bay Area where things are so liberal.Back in the late 1960s, I lived in a suburban, segregated neighborhood in Houston, TX, and I remember the overt racism that was practiced at that time. I am seriously disturbed that our country seems to be reverting, in some ways, back to this totally unacceptable behavior. Not to be political, but I am also very disturbed at the way that some people in this country feel like Donald Trump has given them permission to stop being “politically correct,” which is really just a way of trying to make some people act like decent human beings, who wouldn’t otherwise do so on their own. So, Justin, please keep writing articles such as this because some of us are paying attention.
