Good Neighbors, Good People!!

I am probably the luckiest person in the world...no, I'm not saying this because I want something from my neighbors...I am being very genuine. I'm proud of both sides - they are truly good parents! Not only are they raising very smart children, they are raising children who don't see a color line.

I went to a book signing this afternoon for a friend. I was the only black person there. It got me to thinking, I have a ton of friends and many are not black. Of those who are white, it is very possible that I am their ONLY black friend! I go to their homes and there are no other black people there.

I love my neighbors because 1. their children have in fact seen and played with other black, asian, hispanic children - so seeing someone outside of their ethnicity is not a shock. I cannot believe in this day and age the only exposure some children have to other races is what they are allowed to watch on television.

Does anyone else see a problem with that or is it just me?

Neighbors...you rock!!
