    Maybe she belonged to the KKK or something. I was brought up to treat EVERYONE the way I want to be treated. If they don't reciprocate, treat them the way they treat me.

    This is my suspicion as well. I figured if I threw that out there and was wrong, someone would dig it up and toss it in my face. That didnt happen so I'm going to go with my first suspicions.

    Liberal. Single Mom. Unemployed. Most likely voting for Hillary. The usual kind of guilty white, save the planet type of Liberal.

    Well, with todays strife between the races, it very well could have cost her and her 3 kids everything if she went into the wrong stetches of neighborhood at the wrong time.

    Not sure I'd risk it while having 3 mouths depending on me at home just to feel good about myself.

    What did she do that she is sorry for?

    I will laugh when that black neighborhood mugs her and steals her sign. Oh the irony.

    have to agree, some will see that as weak, be they white or black criminals, they very will could take advantage of her

    we do live in a sad world where the strong prey on the weak

    That's backwards state of affairs in this country.
    Black should be walking through White areas apologizing to US for the damage they've caused.

    You mean all it takes is saying "sorry" and everything is ok? Why didn't someone think of this already? It would have saved all that stuff with civil rights in the 60's. "Oh, blacks were slaves? Oops, sorry."

    Hahahaha! This woman is a bona-fide nincompoop.

    Hillary Clinton and her DNC slave traders should be the ones doing this, on a daily basis. White conservatives aren't responsible for black liberal failures. Progressivism has lead them into moral decay, and dysfunctional single parent households have become the norm. The culture of dependency, bred by entitlements, is owned by the DNC.

    Looks like she may have been looking for a date.

    Very likely she has a 'partner' (read wife).

    Primarily in East Coast urban and metro areas and to the west in large cities. If you're curious about racial diversity in the US, Hoogle state and city demographics.

    Well actually the biggest concentration of blacks is in the south if you want to get technical. But I have still yet been to this black America, do we need passports?

    attention whore and misguided liberal

    If she really wants to make a difference then make no excuses for minorities and demand they be held to the same standards.

    I and my family do not ask for nor do we receive special consideration and to think that we need it is the most insulting thing of all.

    You guys done yet? Takes a lot of guts to insult a woman you know nothing about in total anonymity. She is doing something you don't like. I got that. But how many baseless stereotypes are you going to lay on her? You really think you should hazard some guesses if she is rich or poor, married or single, liberal or conservative, employed or not, and how her kids are going to turn out.

    Your declared locale is Tennessee. That's the south. If you lived in Tennessee, you'd definitely know that.

    Oh I do, also originally from Los Angeles so I know about that as well. Memphis is 66% black but I still can't find black America on a map anywhere.

    I live in the United States of America, so I have no idea where this black America is.

    Gotcha. Black America is usually a reference to a group, not a place.
    Ever been to Graceland?
    What provoked you to move to Memphis from LA?

    I know, I'm just being a smart ass because I'm sick of all these divisive terms. We need to start acting like one nation before we fall like Babylon.

    But anyways yeah been to Graceland a hand full of times, haven't been in many years though. Came here for a job opportunity I couldn't refuse right before I turned 19 and have been here since. Don't think I'll ever move back to LA, but I don't want to stay in memphis either lol.

    I don't foresee America crashing and burning anytime soon. The US has been in constant evolution from the start. Americans will decide our future, good or bad.
    LA to Memphis...was that a culture shock?

    Maybe not in our lifetime, but I don't want my children to have to live through something worse.

    Yeah culture shock as far as slower pace of living, not much to really do and to be honest it's much more culturally diverse . I used to think that the southerners had no idea what real diversity is like but now I find it quite the opposite and also notice that west coast folks are very out of touch with reality.

    The furthest west I have been is Colorado and Utah. The landscape is remarkably different. The snow falls from October to May. There's no southern hospitality, humidity, or sweet tea. Cost of living is substantially higher. Wild game is all over the place. And they love a southern accent. They also have hard water.

    It doesn't look like we will be acting as one nation anytime soon.

    My mom lives in Memphis...we moved around a lot ( my dad seemed to always be in charge of opening something new in another state) last place they lived before he passed was Memphis. Now she's stuck there lol. Hopefully she will be back in the PNW by the end of summer.
    The only thing I really like about Memphis is the Peabody ducks. Graceland was "eh".
    Lots of racial tension in that city.... very different than Seattle.

    There's still racism that needs to be rooted out, but that lady really did embarrass herself by doing that. This country is way past waving a sign with an apology on it.
    Even though she meant well.
