And why shouldn't I be offended? You're bald-faced admitting to not trusting me due to my skin color, based on traumatic experiences you had decades before I was born, hundreds of miles away from the place of my birth. I hope for your sake you don't make other life choices with that kind of logic.
And you're teaching these obsolete lessons to your children and grandchildren, hampering the massive progress society has already made since 1956.
That's not to say discrimination doesn't exist today, and maybe "Never Trust Whitey" was a survival mechanism in the Jim Crow south, but I was taught the whole purpose of the civil rights movement was to move past mentalities like yours.
