Simply Message - Stop Racism. by ladymagpie

Simply Message - Stop Racism.

Some beautiful carnations to express my strong views on the subject. I feel very passionately about this, and just wish we could all just live in harmony.

I'm reminded of a working trip 10 years ago when I flew over from England to Little Rock, Arkansas. On arrival at my hotel the receptionist made a nice comment about my ascent and asked If I could come down and talk to them now and again.

What did upset me was that in the evening I was have a meal in the dinning room, and was served by a couple of very nice, polite Afro-American guys. I then stopped on afterwards to sit and have a chat with them, but was pulled away by some other customers and told that I shouldn't mix.

I was very angry at the time. I will get off my soapbox now so you can enjoy the flowers.

Sorry you had that experience. I wish we could all live in harmony, too. Beautiful carnations.

Beautiful flowers. I am so sad of your experience. It is almost unbelievable to me that this happened. I would have had to tell them to mind their own business and continue with your conversation.
