@JL0129 I think someone a little closer to God than I am could answer your questions better.

Even though I could have considered myself a 'minority' (compared to rest of the work force there) when I was hired at PCCEO back in 1986, I always had the philosophy of looking past a person's color, and looking at them as a colleague, co-worker, all working for the same cause.
 
Many years ago, while working there, Michael Banks, then-Executive Director, and I went to Chicago to participate in (and videotape) a weekend seminar on Racial Reconciliation. It was about finding ways for blacks and whites to understand each other more, help find ways to work together instead of against each other as races.
 
At the end of the seminar, we were served bowls of chocolate and vanilla ice cream, with the instructions to take a little of each, and mix it together.
 
It was very inspiring to me, and I hope that reconciliation can continue in many ways. It starts with a simple dialogue,

@DennisinPeoria I think Jason's Deli has one of those mixed chocolate/vanilla ice cream machines for those seeking this experience.

I understand why the other thread on this subject is getting all the attention-because ones like to argue.
WHEN did it become white or black I thought we were Caucasian or African American or Caucasian/African mix. Do you call Koreans yellow?

I would call a Korean "Korean" unless I didn't know his origin, then I would say "Asian"

I see two men shaking hands
 
@Illinoisjarhead
 
It could be 2 women. Or a woman and man. Judges wear black robes.
 
Could be Judge Judy.

Fed up
 
@tntrecycling
 
Still fed up. Amazing how each day gets happier, more relaxed, and focused when I'm not spending time watching the news. I have no idea what's going on.
 
Nor do I care.
