Give the individual a chance
If I was another White person
People’s fear of me wouldn’t be an issue
I try to assimilate and go with it
Even when I don’t speak the way
The English language is written
I will not be called a hypocrite
Things are a lot easier, and a lot better
People are a lot more accepting of me<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: "Times New Roman&

Than they used to be when I was 10 years younger
I don’t walk down the street expecting that everyone is going to treat me differently
Because of my skin color
I expect that everyone is going to treat me fairly based on who I am
You can’t appease everybody, but you can at least try
