May I suggest that for white folks, they find a black friend, a real friend, and then another, and another. It will make, for them, an easier and less fraught transition to all manner of institutional engagements, such as neighborhood public schools or other community organizations that are more inclusive of all. It means that one, in valuing the friendships and connections, can more easily listen, understand, connect in genuine ways, without an internal 'voice' of how am I doing?

As a white women I've been fortunate to live in integrated situations where inter-racial connections and friendships were part of the fabric, easy. Trust me when I say: do find a friend and another, and another. Hannah MacLaren
