"I spend time with people, I listen to what they have to say,
and I treat each person as an individual. I don’t have to
believe what they believe, but whenever I’m in someone’s space,
I feel I’m obliged to observe without judgment.That's not to
say I wouldn't intervene if I felt a situation called for it,
but I choose to observe moment to moment and simply take in
what I see and experience without presumption or pretext,”

Poor white people living in isolation, ignored by the American dream and raised to thing its the fault of black folks. Education is the only way to beat that. Great pictures.

I put this on my wall.
We can disagree philosophically with people, but still care about them.
