Racial Ignorance

I was walking down the sidewalk, window shopping, with my two year old niece who just happens to be black and whit mix. We were having a grand old time, laughing, skipping, giggling, when a man, driving by in his car, no less, slows down enough to yell out the window, in front of my niece, (who is very smart, by the way) and yells out "Nigger lover!" I was so shocked that I couldn't even move, and the words I should have said to my niece, just wouldn't come out. She looked sad, and I knew that she knew what he said, and she knew that the word's were meant to be an insult. She's very smart. I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, and lowered her down to the ground from my arms. "Miss Saraya", I said, "Now, don't you go worrying yourself about what that man said." and I'll be a son of a gun if she didn't look right in my eyes and say,"I'm not worried Auntie, I feel bad for him." Wow! Out of the mouths of babes. Why are we still, to this day, stuck in that old, worn out racist society? Where in the world did anyone get the idea from, that we are not all equal? I am saddened, and in dismay over this, this ignorance. Love one another people, there's no reason not too.
