I'm lucky - my life experience is drawn from many locations and contexts.

I'm also lucky to have made real deep friendships with black white Indian and other people.

I have learned a lot about honesty and tact from my black friends.

I have friends who are Black British, Black African, White African ... damn ... it goes on ... anyway, I have been exposed to and become familiar with and then incorporated into myself the whole idea of clearly and honestly observing thw hue of someones skin and their racial characeristics without being embarrassed about ot or judgemental.

Like I said, I'm blessed to have had a rich life experience.
