I am so sorry you had to experience this. In my observations across the
country anywhere you go in Tennessee seems to be this way. Please
don't judge the rest of our beautiful country by this yardstick. My
apologies to any Tennesseeans here who do not fit this pattern, this
was my observation based on a cross country bus tour a couple years
ago. I simply could not believe how different things are in that state.
There will always be individuals who harbor resentment and
animosity, but mostly they will keep it to themselves these days. We
can perhaps have some control over how people act in public, but we
cannot govern what they think. It would be wonderful if there were
some magic pill or elixir that would make this all go away.
I have at one time or another lived in just about every area in this
land except for the great Northwest. In most of these areas great
progress has been made not only towards blacks and indians but other
minorities as well. Even so , one will always encounter certain
individuals who carry on the old hateful ways. Perhaps in another
500 yrs or so......... Its really seems kind of ridiculous
these days when most of us are a conglomeration of many many
cultures. It is time to show not tolerance, but acceptance and
understanding.
My 2 cents worth.

Greetings all, my heritage includes Blackfoot Native Americans from a

descendants from South America (Paternal side), I pass for a small deep brown
skin African American male. I was just in Chattanooga Tennessee and the hate I
felt from Caucasian men young, middle age and elderly was beyond belief in
2009. You could just feel hate in their stares and blocking our car from the
gas pump. A young Caucasian male would not allow my friend, who is half
Caucasian and African American, he could pass for a 6'2 moroccon Arab. We
needed to fuel the car to head back to Washington DC, after visiting his
Caucasian mother who works in the Alexian retirement Center in the mountains of
Chattanooga, such a beautiful place with hatefulness all around, did I miss
something or should this still be expected? Pardon my description just painting
a mental picture for you all, I wish CS mixed with DMSO could harmonize this
issue with some of the American family
