[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4521528, member: 77695"] Great reminder that we become a product of our environment. I delivered the projects for years and no matter if I was spat at or ignored for being white I always smiled, looked people in the eye, and treated them with respect. You cant fix hate with hate. [USER=1940]@tonyexpress[/USER] is right. So until someone tries to hurt me, my family, or destroy my hard earned possessions I'll have some compassion for the pain in their life that brought them to being hateful to another race of people who want the same things in life that they do and have personally caused them no harm or disrespect. I can't fix all of life's injustices but like you did, you can treat others with compassion and respect and let that be the example they remember because bad behavior is not about the color of a person's skin. It's about the color of their heart. [/QUOTE]
