    I am in Clovis, NM. I had a neighbor who was very prejudiced. She and her daughter decided to do the ancestry test. So they sent for the kit and then sent it off. She was so angry when she got the results back. She had an African ancestor. And Mexican ancestor. Maybe some of the prejudiced people should have their ancestry checked.

      Not prejudice! RACIST! There's a massive different!
      You can be prejudice - pre-judgement before knowledge and information.
      You can pre-judge a cake before you taste it and find it's quite good!
      To be RACIST is to be a killer in waiting. "Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees!"

    Originally from the UK, but grew up here in Canada, I have never understood racism, I guess that my parents never told me that people were different in any way. My best friends in Junior High were indigenous, I only realized that when thinking back to my childhood. It is unfortunate that people are taught hatred, it comes in many forms, and it is tragic. Without skin, we all look pretty much the same. The way I have always looked at it is that you should never hate anyone, and if they give you a reason to, then you need to question as to why you have these feelings and try to fix them. If you can't resolve them, you should still love them, because as with Mrs. Thompson, people can change. If only everyone in the world would start acting like this, it would be so much a better place. I think some politicians need similar stories, being divided on anything, can cause nothing but problems. Thank you for this story, it needs a lot more views, especially from the Mrs. Thompsons of the world. Cheers. 😎

    That happens to my family once. We had around 25 church youth in our house singing to the Lord. We were new in the neighborhood. Our neighbor was a witch. We didn’t know. When the police came. My mother asked them to come inside. They started singing with us. They told us to keep singing until 10:00 pm. It was only 6:00 pm. They told us, world need people like us to keep the youth out of trouble. They told the neighbor not to call them if is not pass 10:00pm

      @wesleyBringsOtter This is probably going to be a dumb question, because you have clearly stated that you are Sioux and I am about to ask about Navajo, but fortune favors the bold, so here it goes. Given your age--and I mean no insult whatsoever by that--and the fact that you’re Native American, did you know any of the World War II Codetalkers when they were still alive? My mom had the honor of accidentally meeting one under not-exactly-ideal circumstances (he thought a breach of security had been committed, causing a very brief scare).
      When she was out west, when she learned a certain man she was crossing paths with was a Navajo, she went right up to him and asked if he knew any Codetalkers. “Ma’am, that information was classified until just a year ago. How do you know about them?” he interrogated her. Without any hesitation, Mom answered, “Uncle Larry told me all about them when I was a kid while he was on shore leave. So, do you know any of them?”
      “I’m one of them,” he then replied.

I am of mixed heritage and while I look mostly white or Hispanic my mother was of was from a long line of mixed heritage people dating back to the time of slavery. Being who I am I have heard many white people make denigrating and disparaging comments about Black Americans to this very day, in September of 2024. As one person commented, some things have changed but many things have remained the same.

    I grew up in 1960 very upscale neighborhood in Berkeley, full of very well educated people. The house across the street sold to a black doctor and the confusion started because the wives didn't know how to react because there were no other black families. My mother threw a tea party to welcome them (yes tea parties were still a thing). Their kids were in my grade and we were good friends.

    I love these stories that have a positive vibe. It would be awesome if it was as easy as these stories portray to change the prejudice that is faced daily by more than 55% of the population.

    I thank my older relatives for how I was brought up. I do believe that racist beliefs are bred from people to people. I live just outside of Toronto Canada. I have had to change the racist tones from within a manufacturing plant that I became the manager of. It was pretty easy. I went to the one area where most of the blacks worked. Asked them if they played ball. They said yes every Tuesday evening in Toronto. I asked them if they would like a lesson from me on how to really get it done. They laughed and eventually invited me to play.. I ran out and bought the goofiest running shoes, the tightest shorts and made my way to the address I was given. I had told them that I was the real RAIN MAN not Shawn Kemp from Seattle. Yes this was about 30 years ago. Yet they were anticipating the lesson I had bragged about giving them. I got there , saw them warming up and thought I was watching the NBA live. I ran around like an idiot trying as I might yet couldn't get a basket. They stopped the game after what I thought was 10 minutes really only 2 minutes. They told me to stop screwing around. They said they were wanting to see the RAIN MAN. I told them that all my buddies call me that because just like rain drops my shots hit everywhere.
    The next day at work I was able to work in their area for that day and the next 4 weeks for which we had meetings to figure out what they needed to make there jobs safer , easier and more productive. To this day I am still friends with 2 of them. And the plant moved 15 years ago. I just don't see black white brown whatever everyone else sees. Favorite movie. Remember the titans. from Mike Fitton I don't have any belief that the human race is going to make 100 years let alone the 20 or 30 that I may have left.

    It is gratifying to see the positive way of dealing with differences. It reminds me of our neighborhood in Los Angeles County in the 70s and 80s, which was filled with people from different cultures but hosted the one main rule of the community: acceptance. No one in our neighborhood had to worry about their kids not being watched or having to worry about their safety. Everyone who lived in our community knew each other and watched out for each other homes, safety, and security that everyone was safe. There was never a moment when the neighborhood wouldn’t lend a hand to help each other. I miss those times and hope our communities will return to this way of life. Later years, having the opportunity to live in different states, I noticed more division rather than exception, no matter who or what your background was. I pray for our kids and grandkids to grow up in a community like the one I was raised in to feel belonging and know that our neighbors are not just people but extended families, no matter their background. Thank you for posting these examples on overcoming diversity and returning to a place where everyone cares about each other to be there in time of need. Gratefully and giving a sense of hope, Ralph Russell

    The problem I have with this story is that if SHE was watching him & his family that closely, how did she not catch him either leaving or coming home in his uniform? Even if it were just for lunch? Or from the 'Dry Cleaners'?

      The neighbour had been there 40 years and the responding officers called the neighbourhood newer or something to that effect. Weird and also too long a story. This sounds more like a 60’s event such as when we moved into an anglo neighbourhood and were spat at and called names and no…we’re not dark skinned.
      Edit: from Canada

      @@linato1855 I agree the story was too long. I also noticed the discrepancy between the officers’ description of the neighborhood as a newer one and the fact that Mrs. Thompson seemed to consider the neighborhood as a long-established one that had been the same for years.
