I personally grew up around a very diverse group of people.. It's just where we lived, how we lived.
But for some reason when I went to school there was always more white children than black. And I certainly never saw all the different nationalities that I saw when my children were going to school. Times have indeed changed! even up til this day. But of course I let no cat out of the bag.. This is no surprise. And I will dare to say things are indeed changing for the better in this world.
As I spend my last day here in River Falls Wisconsin. I think of what a wonderful time I've had.
These folks here in this town.. *from what I've seen* don't see color. My second day here I did see 2 black children in a parade.. "Children" meaning they must have parents. Therefore there has to be at least one black couple that lives here.. or at least the next town over. OR perhaps they've been adopted. Either way I saw them. I knew there had to others around here some where. BUT.. I never saw any more. I never saw another Black person, no Russians, no Africans, No other races.. I did see some Asians.. They run a Chinese restaurant across the street from my friends house. Oh, and I saw one Hispanic. She stated she was down for school. (Yes I asked) Bottom line, I felt comfortable. I went to the store, I went to bars, out to eat. Even got a tattoo! Everyone was SO friendly! Everywhere I went. Hats off, to the Town of River Falls and their cab service! for being so kind to a gal who clearly was not like the rest of y'all 💕
Have you ever visited a town or city that you've been the only race?
Thank you for stopping by! 💙🚰
