I feel for you. How do you see yourself in these times?

When I was young, in the UK, this racial division was hardly visible. School and university were very mixed, with people just being friends or not based on personality. There was such hope for the world. Seems to have been descending into divisive shit ever since. (30+ years later)

My wake up to racism was when a Jamaican gentleman decided to put a gun to my head for being white in the wrong area of London. Since then I see those youthful days of equality as a bit of a dream, and occasionally look back in sorrow over those friendships, which would be seriously strained by society in these days.

What is the path OUT of this?
