Suppose you are black and you receive a perfectly nice letter from a person you fell out with when you learned they were racist. You never made up and they never apologized for their racist comments. However, they ask you for some some news about yourself, and share some news of their own. How do you react?

1.   You scrunch the letter in a tight ball

Hm, I am Black and honestly, I have shrugged off much racism from White people who were otherwise cool and had one moment I didn't like. If I were otherwise not mad at them I probably would reply as normal, but if it was something HORRIBLE they said or did, then I would point out that I am still hurt by it. (I'd never ask for an apology, I'd see if they'd offer it.)

I think people can change and I'd hate to lose a friend over ignorance. Ignorance can be remedied.
