Much appreciated PB. There major differences in our experience of dealing with people. You were raised in the most populated city in your state and matter of fact the country , you experience many different scenarios. Compared to bring brought up in one of the mid sized cities in the poorest state in the country which is more known for its hate crimes than southern hospitality. My city only have around 115 or so Italians . Of course just like in many other cities , blacks was segregated into certain communities. If you was born here than your current views might of been a little different.
