I didn’t ask to be white!

Molly Hilton
Troy, MI

If skin color is the simply the product of birth, then why do I inherit the guilt associated with being white? I moved to Detroit at the age of 42. This is the most segregated region in the country. Why? Why are white people so hated here? I try to be friendly and chat like I would have in my west Michigan hometown, but I have learned “mixing” is inappropriate here.
