I couldn't clap LOUD enough for this article. Thank you so much for speaking so candidly about your experiences and for painting such a vivid picture of the racial biases that others attempted to project upon you. It was beautiful and refreshing to hear an account of a white woman who wasn't afraid to use her own mind to make a conclusion about another human being. We all know that bad people come in every color, shape and form, but to regulate all negativity to one race is just simply wrong. I wish there were more women like you in the world and I thank you from my heart for your humanity.
