Just remember black lives matter.

[Vintage Claret]

Some years past on a cruise holiday we met a London bus driver and his wife, who were black but a very friendly and charming couple. During the time we spent together on that cruise she told us of some of the things that had been done or said to her on the streets of London which I found to be distasteful at the very least. This lady had lived in London since her early ****age and worked until she was at retirement age.
We met them again a few years later, we noticed throughout that holiday that they always appeared to be on a table of their own even when the venue was full. People would rather stand than sit with them, I think that had these people made an effort to speak with them they would have found out what nice people they were.
When we docked in the Florida, we had an afternoon ashore with them and the attitude of the people running the bars, café & shopping mall left something to be desired, yet they probably spent more money in those shops than most of the other customers but were definitely not treated with respect.
This is the only time I have seen racism, or colour prejudice, first hand and I was not pleased with what I saw. I think that irrespective of race, religion or colour of the skin people deserve to be respected as I like to be treated with respect myself.
