I try to be courteous when i am in public places....walk to the right, hold doors for people. I am appalled at the percentage of black people that walk very slow down the center of a walkway and refuse to move when people are coming at them, they also commonly say nothing when you hold a door open for them, particularly black ladies...white, hispanic, asian people generally say thank you about 80% of the time....black people, maybe 40%...i have lived in many states, around inner cities and in upscale neighborhoods...no racial tensions or anything...its just anytown, US. I am not trying to be racial!!!! Its got nothing to do with color...we are all mixed breeds!!! It has everything to do with attitude...being positive goes a long way...it could make rasicm vanish if some people just stepped up and were more kind. Its not a "white" thing...its universal...being rude....I am saying this so that some black people with some grudge in their heart wont treat a respectful white person that way
