When I was 6 yrs old in 1970 the first black family moved into our neighborhood. I barely remember but there was racist remarks among the adults. Anyway it was a young couple with no children.All of us little white kids were curious about them. I remember that lady was so nice .she was the sweetest person to all of us kids.Also I remember she invited some of us girls inside her home and was teaching us about fingernail care and soaking your fingernails in milk was healthy.she even demonstrated. I am 55 yrs old and I’ll never forget that. Kids aren’t racist , they’re curious. Racism is taught.I am thankful that my parents brought me up to love everyone.❤️

My dad was born in 1933 and grew up very poor. That being said he lived in what he called the black community. His best friend was a black boy named Walter. Dad would get beat up on the 40s for walking around with his friend. Years later, when was dad passed away at the age of 76 I got to meet Walter at his funeral. What a hrsat man he was and spoke so highly of my dad. He told me dad never backed down and would always tell Walter to run cause he knew the kids would be harder on him. I'm glad I was able to be raised by a man that didn't judge people.

In 1980 my family lived in a all white city. We had never interacted with different races and we displayed prejudices. We had a family move nextdoor to us that came from Kenya. We were up in arms and outraged our old neighbor sold to them. As the years went on, we learned so much from them, they were the most beautiful people, the wife would cook us food and treats and eventually they became my parents closest friends. Taking holidays together and nights on the porch chatting. Unfortunately they've both passed on recently but they educated our minds and I'm so thankful they taught us we're all the same and they broke the cycle of ignorance in my family.

Born and raised in Oklahoma. My grandma lived in a small town on 11 acres, not many people live there now. But the town had segregated white and black, home's and school's. There was the sweetest lady that lived down from my grandma. Her name was Ms. Johnson. I used to get in trouble all the time because my grandma thought that I was bothering Ms. Johnson. The thing was, Ms Johnson always had a kind word, always had a smile, and as poor as she was always offered me something to eat! I loved this lady because she showed me the kindest and sweetest person full of love and life. There wasn't any color to me. She was what I wanted to be. So, Ms Johnson, you've been gone since the seventies and I was such a young girl. I wish I could have told you how I really felt. But grandma thought I bothered you too much. I always made excuses to come visit ❤ RIP Grandma Juanita RIP Ms Johnson

It isn't always a case of racism. All people don't have to live together. Who cares if a town filled with only African Americans exists? People have a right to live as they wish, provided that wish doesn't infringe on another. People who like multiculturalism and diversity can live in communities which support it. Ideally, everyone could be happy. I wouldn't care if there was an Italian only community or a Native American only community. Oh, wait! There are already native American communities. They are called, "reservations" or, "rez" in Native American parlance. The Amish and Mennonite Christian faiths have there own communities. I support them in their desires to keep their lives free of 'worldly things', for lack of a better phrase. To keep any potential trouble outside of their little slice of paradise on God's green Earth. This might be the closest thing to Heaven on Earth. Living amongst one's own. Every citizen living within the reality of his fellow citizens. Doing business with other communities of native Americans, Peruvians, African Americans and other people of color*. *those of the darker persuasion, dark because their ancestors lived where being dark was considered an asset for a great many reasons including protection from the sun diurnally and protection from animals whilst foraging nocturnally. Presumably. American Educator Stedman Graham just shed 357 pounds of ugly fat simply by divorcing Oprah Winfrey.

My parents bought a house in a coveted “white” Seattle neighborhood in 1958 for $8,500.00. I own it now and it’s worth about 1.5 million. I’m no mathematician (...just a lowly engineer), but I’d say that’s a pretty good appreciation rate.

I always remembered the shocked & appalled look on GM's face when she pulled me into the car and said, "you can't play with THEM!". I never understood why, though she tried to "explain" to me. Sadly, my new friends must've seen or heard her; I never saw them again, which was a real loss. Wish there'd been shorts like that I could have shown to my grandmother and grandfather.

I had an African-American youth put it to me this way. "Up north, you can be equal, just don't be close. Down south, you can get close, but don't think you're equal." I've always been ticked at how every time something happened that was racist and not in the south, "Oh, we've moved on from that. That's an isolated incident. We're not like they are in the south." It was like northerners didn't have to deal with their own bigotries if they could still point at the south and say, "they're the racists. We're not like them in the south." You look at history of the last forty years, it seems there was more racist encounters in northern and western locations than in the south. But tell a northerner that and they'll bring up Emmet Till and the civil rights workers killed in '63. I wasn't even born when those happened.

We don't have an out and are forced to deal with our bigotry, whereas northerners have always relied on insisting, "we're not as racist as THEY were," without resolving any issues. "No, we're not racist. That was a misunderstanding. That was an isolated incident. We're not racist like they WERE in the south. We're not THAT bad." And when the south does have an altercation of any kind, as we still have had happen, never said the south wasn't racist, "oh, that's the way THEY are down there. They always have been that way." As long as someone feels they can point at someone else as being worse, they never will deal with their own problems.

"My China doll white skin"...oh please!

Had a black family move right next door (60's) they were VERY good people. Played with them a lot, we were young ranging in ages 3 to 12. Funny how when you're young skin color doesn't matter.

My mom grew up in a small town in the 60s and she said at school they had an assembly to inform the students that a black family would be moving into town. They did tell the children to be nice to the new black family but it blew my mind that they had an assembly about it.

Watching the children play and holding hands reminded me if my childhood in the playground. We could learn so much from the innocence of children. They don't care about colour. They just want to have fun. Its the grown ups who are the problem.

I moved, and rented my house to some frat boys. My neighbors treated me this same way. They weren't wrong.

I, personally have no desire to be anywhere that lacks a likeness of me. Lol, I don't want to be anywhere that privacy is not a priority, and common courtesy is not a requirement. Lol, bet you thought that I spoke of likeness of skin color...but; I spoke of personality and morality. I encourage everyone to live their best lives... out loud!!!

I grew up in an integrated neighborhood in The Bronx, NY. There have always been attitudes about race that I didn't (and still don't) understand at age 60. I agree with Ms. Stanfield. My parents brought me up properly. As a result, I gravitated to companions who were like-minded. Race wasn't even a factor. In reading some of the comments, I see that some may have given up hope. True, there is still much work to do, but, as long as one treats others as one want to be treated, that's a step in the right direction.

Everyone says that racism is learned by I don’t know. I grew up in an all whote area & with parents and grandparents who were extremely racist - out of fear, like this movie. Once I hit about age 10, it didn’t make sense to me. The black people I saw on Sesame Street and other TV shows really weren’t all that different than us, besides hair, obviously. We’d see black kids, parents and teachers when we went on field trips in school or to amusement parks and none of them had any desire to rape or kill us or rob us. The girls were so pretty with their hair in braids with beads. Their families were all there to have a good time like anyone else. It was then that I realized the fear was irrational. It wasn’t until I was a teen/early 20s that the crime rates started making sense. Of course there’s crime when people are desperate. Black people were not given the same opportunities for jobs and education... their ancestors weren’t allowed to own property, so a lot didn’t have property to pass on to an heir. I saw white people committing the same crimes but only getting a fraction of the punishment. So no, racism and hate isn’t learned. Sure, it’s taught... but anyone who has more than 2 brain cells should easily be able to see for themselves by age 10 that these stereotypes and fears are irrational.

I JUST had an experience TODAY!! In the grocery checkout at my small town grocer there was this black lady talking to the clerk in the line next to mine. She was hollering that they were the first black family in Billings....on and on she went. She said they had just moved to our town and her neighborhood was on a small street and very quiet and no one bothered anyone. She went on to say she was not used to this being from Chicago. She, loudly of course, was concerned she said because, 'I'm the rowdy kind, I'm the big mouth, I'm the one who has to be noticed!!!". She did not know if she would fit in long.

That's how my community was. We were integrated in living, not in neighborhoods. When 1 black family moves in, they invite friends over. Now they see other black folks are there, soon they're in a house too. Now someone driving through sees all this, and calls the number on a for rent sign. These folks likely are good people, but, they have a cousin, who needs a place to live... or sells drugs, and no one has 'claimed' this turf. I don't like being called racist. I don't like the re-writing of history , the special treatment and memory loss for gratitude. More whites died as Yankees than those who owned slaves. Retributions/equity... while not teaching math and reading. Equity has dumbed down colleges and public schools. We were integrated in living. A black kid stole my precious stapler in 2d grade - I was told to get over it. In 7th grade, a black kid would sneak up on me, and grind his groin into my backside daily. Again, no one said anything. I didn't even understand what he was doing. I just didn't like it. We were poor. We worked hard, saved and made good decisions, we aren't poor any longer. When millions cross our border w nothing, and make it work within years, what's the excuse for black folks? It's NOT my fault they make bad life decisions. White folks can make bad decisions too. It's the consequences and lack of accountability that keeps folks down. Gold teeth, $150 sneakers... why must I pay for their housing?

there was a old white lady she passed away now, but she had lived in our neighborhood. i knew her every since i was a little boy iam 43 now and it's and all black neighborhood but she lived there when it use to be an all white neighborhood and blacks where not allowed in that part of town. she use to ride the bus back then and tell her death and it was nice to hear her talk about the changes that she's seen and been in and i was always amazed at how that she grew up in that time period but didn't take on the hate that was at that time and because of that the neighborhood took care of her. When she died the neighbors made sure she had a wonderful funeral. the family didn't have to pay for a think. everybody came through for them.

If people realized that we are all one, literally, not hypothetically then they would know that everything does affect everyone. You cant separate yourself from yourself. Lol ❤ Took me years to know this one fact that healed me and changed eveything for me.

One question that never gets answered is why did the black family want to move in a white community instead of a black one?

Ok, I get you, but aren't blacks allowed to move and live freely anymore, whether it's a so called white, native, black, etc. neighborhood? Sometimes, it's just tough being black anywhere in the world.

I've in Louisiana with always a large black populace. NEVER HEARD OR SAW A CROSS BURNED. EVER. I have trouble believing this. We had David Duke run for Governor and almost won. Never saw or heard anything like burning a cross. You know why. We got along. There might of been a few things but never to this degree!

It still goes on today. Everywhere!!! It’s getting worse every day, week, month, year!!! It’s scary to live in this country now as a Black Woman with Black children, grandchildren, and great grand children, siblings, nieces, nephews, friends!!! Why do white men think all Black men want their woman? But they will readily disrespect a Black woman thinking we all want and find them attractive?? We don’t. We want the same things for our families that they do!!! Children are taught prejudice and bigotry by their families and other adults. Children play together until adults interfere!!! “Those people!”. I dealt with that in college at MICH STATE UNIV., in the late 60’s and early 70’s. My white roommates father tried to have her room switched because I was Black and wore a Natural hair style. This effects your thinking all your life.

Yup, a lot of folks forgot how deeply it was still rooted in the 70’s especially. I was the only black guy in my kindergarten class 1977. There were never more than 2 of me for the rest of my grades in elementary. I still managed to make some good friends despite how their parents felt about me. I guess I was too young to notice a lot. Wasn’t till I reached 9th grade when I realized all the crazy bigotry I went through. I used to just think my friends parents were just tired and grumpy from working. 😂🤣 I was definitely wrong.

@@bigcali173 I'm Asian and I grew up in an Aisan (Chinese) neighborhood, my parents who were born and raised in Taiwan were pretty much the only couple who'd think it was ok to have black neighbors. The home sellers actually wouldn't really care who the homes were sold to but other Asian neighbors were so concerned that they would intimidate them from selling any of the mansions in the neighborhood to any people of color whatever social statuses they were, otherwise they'd threaten to manage to turn them into haunted mansions before they even did, so they wouldn't even dare to try. You can come visit my hometown and the nearby cities such as Rowland Heights, Cerritos and Rosemead, you'd hardly spot a black person there. Of course I can't afford to live there either now. When a Chinese American's looking at houses, as the top priority they make sure the entire neighborhood is free from blacks, then they go into the prices. They're seropis;u scared of people with darker skin. 🤣😂

@@kendrickjg Yeah and white people are much more accepting than Indians, Chinese, Koreans, and even Hispanics. Black residents are much more expected to be seen in a white neighborhood than in a Chinese or Korean one. The only reason a Hispanic would live in a neighborhood with a significantly large black population would be because they couldn't afford not to. It's not a Caucasian thing, black people have to deal with way more prejudice in most other countries, especially in China, it's common and considered ok for a restaurant there to reject black and any types of foreign customers.

Brought foreclosure house in Exclusive Estate Neighborhood....They would blow their leaves on to my property...

My best friend for 1 summer was a black girl. They were the only black family in our neighborhood. We hung out everyday the summer before 9th grade, High School. 2 days before school started, she road her bike to my house to tell me we couldn't be friends anymore. I asked why. She said "You know" I said, "No, I don't know" She said "Because I'm black and you're white" I said "So? I don't understand" She said "I'm sorry" and just road away. Yes, I would see her in school, but she acted like she didn't know who I was. Im crying about it right now, just thinking about it. It broke my heart.

It's a shame that the children can get along well with or most all reces , but the adults aren't even going to give it a try.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the contributions of the black community in our society. Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all those who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities , and example of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self improvement through hard work, and self reliant can do nature. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would most undoubtedly be poorer as a nation. ~ Tree L. Bolling
