I agree with Angel, however I would have to disagree with her on one point. I attend a Catholic church in KCMO,that is growing like hotcakes because they encourage diversity—It is an African-American church that is open and welcoming to everyone…and the members dress to the nines! So I guess culture plays a bigger part in how people dress than religion does…more important is the beauty of the souls of black people…just makes me want to cry with joy! What a treasure black people have to offer to those who open their minds and hearts to all God’s Family.

The only difference I see is the color of our skin which really doesn’t matter to me. I believe that Africa was the cradle of civilization…so that means we are all connected…and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The Blacks that I have met have enriched my life. My church family gives me all the love I give to them. I stepped out of my comfort zone when I was five years old , and I have never regretted it.

The restaurant could have celebrated Black History Month by offering ‘ everyone’ a 10% discount on their order. Or they could have put up a poster of famous Black leaders, inventors, poets, musicians…etc.
