I think that ups guy treated you with some serious disrespect. Why should your attempts to empathize be discounted? What a bitter person. Please don’t make that the shut down moment - your grace and sharing deserve a better reception.

Thanks, but I'm' doing great - I got over it and he no longer drives in my area. It has made me cautious with regard to how I interface with black people, though. There is a great deal of sensitivity these days.

That said, I wish him well. I hope that he is able to heal his anger and develop a healthy self concept and live a fulfilling life. He deserves it. We all do. :-)

I'm glad you are doing great! But please try not to see one individual's perspective as necessarily representative of an entire community or people's perspective. That's a slippery slope...

Of course. I still take each person as they come and try to extend benefit of the doubt where I can.
