I never had a black social friend till I lived in Asia. I was so glad to see her walking down my street! As a white female of vaguely Southern background, I often feel more comfortable with some black women than with some fellow white Californians. Class (as a system of values, not necessarily economic)and culture trump surface dissimilarities. There is only the one race: human. Let’s remember that we are all Americans. And stick together. (We can still note some differences and laugh a little, as all families do.)
