I lost a good friend who is black, because I said I did not believe in reparations. I told him I would be willing to pay reparations to any living slave, but not his children, great grandchild and great-great grandchilden. I also told him that I thought that it was wrong for black folks to treat the police as I have seen on video after video. He got mad that I thought it was not enough to "be tired being stopped" as a reason to refuse to cooperate. I feel bad about losing his friendship (he used to call me Mom, for my mentoring him), but that is how I feel. I don't think it makes me a racist. When I was working, I always made it a point to hire well qualified minorites to give them a chance. I have known a lot of black people in the past, been friends with a lot of them, but I do not understand this new attitude of something being owed to them.
