I attended segregated schools in Galveston, TX until graduation in 1955. Two African-American families lived on my block. We were courteous, friendly and called each other by name, but they never entered my house nor I theirs. This was near where Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight boxing champ, grew up. I have my prejudices; but moving into a majority black block 15 years ago (in California) becoming friendly with many neighbors, and going into one another’s homes improved me. Unless you are happy with so many police killings today, you must have some thoughts about BLM.
