was today on the bus. It was for no reason. I pretended to listen to music on my iPod, but it was clearly instigated by the black folk... who were much older and I would have expected more from them. It was so ignorant and uncalled for. The Latino guy was minding his own business and once instigated, he had his "homies" on speed dial. All in all, it really broke my heart to see that nearing 2012, there is still racial hate and not just black versus white. It just didn't make sense to me. It wasn't right and I hope someone tells that Latino guy that he is NOT any of those things the black people were calling him. He was actually handsome, had long beautiful eyelashes and he should be proud to be what he is. Although he shouldn't have to, I'm glad he got off the bus earlier than he intended in order to avoid conflict. I normally capitalize the "b" in black when I refer to race, but this time... I feel like this is a situation that those people did not deserve it.
No offense, but I am just disappointed.
