I was disappointed to see one person giving this state a negative rating for being mostly white, out of touch. I see these kinds of slurs real often. Apparently, we still have a long way to go in this country before people can get over their stubborn race-consciousness. I happen to live in a southern town that is 64% black and 36% white. Whenever anyone asks me how I like it here, I tell them that I like it fine - which is the truth. I hope to stay here a long time. But what would you think of me if I said instead that I don't like this place because it is mostly black, out of touch? Such a statement would be (rightfully) considered repulsive. And anit-white statements are just as racist. I pray that the day will come in America when we will be friends with each other based on our mutual interests, not on what people look like.
