I wish to thank Tiffany Johnson for the vulnerability she displayed in her April 18 commentary The white family at Lake Minnetonka and words unspoken. I really felt her anxiety and discomfort; I have felt the same thing sometimes when encountering Black people (I m white). I wonder if they will hate me because of my skin color and what s going on around town. I feel anxious about greeting them in the event they may display anger toward me (Lord knows they have a right to totally mistrust and dislike white people). And I too feel upset if/when I assume such things about them and don t treat them like I would any white person.
