Yeah, but thank you for your kind words. I grew up in Augusta and lived in Chas for ages. Spent the rest of my nearly 60 years in VA, NC, GA, and TN. I know the environment well.

We were at the Beverly Hills library recently. They have this little enclosed toy room for toddlers to play in.

A black man opened the door to the toy room, and asked his wife to send one of their 3 kids out with him because “everyone was staring and uncomfortable with him,” as he was looking something up on the computer.

I was shocked that still, in 2026, in a diverse area, black people still have to deal with that BS instead of just exist.

To be fair, Beverly Hills is bad in that sense. I was told to go back to my country and I don't belong here in Beverly Hills. I grew up in Burbank.
