When author James Barrie put together the "Brotherhood Committee" he was amazed to learn how many people wanted to build on a "brighter future."
Growing up playing basketball I was known as the "little white girl." I loved the game and tried very hard to not let the comments stop me from playing the sport. I built up the courage to express that I didn't think it mattered about my color just about how I played the game. People started to speak up after this and tell others how they felt as well. We soon became a much stronger team mentally and continued to play well together. This enhanced our game even if it didn't involve the basketball. People are out there that want to actively resist racial exchanges.
I'm glad you were able to overcome some of the pathetic things that people feel the need to say! imagine how bright our future could be if we stopped stereotyping !
