The diminutive racial discrimination I went through in Poland was tolerable & not really that bad comparing to this (story). That I came to understand that Poland isn't much exposed to foreign with colored skin so as the shrilling historical background they had led them to behave such. Polish people aren't that so friendly and approachable, yet, I managed to survive ignoring those who refused to sit next to me (while on train).
However, that made me to apply the savoir-faire and do as the Polish do. Racial discrimination is still a big issue to solve in USA and other western countries in terms of race and skin color. We likely even gone through such in our own kind everyday.
Herewith is the true story of Dorothy Rose.

This Racism Is Disgustingly Ugly. But She Obliterated It Without Batting An Eye. http://www.viralnova.com/ugly-racism/
On the morning of September 4th, 1957, Dorothy Counts walked into an all-white high school for the very first time. She was African American. When she arrived, the only thing greeting her was evil and hatred, but she showed incredible courage in the face of adversity.
Dorothy was only 15 years-old when she bravely walked into a previously all-white high school.
Her arrival was greeted by crude signs, jeering and hatred.
Crowds of young boys spat at her and threw trash.
It’s unbelievable that racism so ugly and hatred so fierce came from children.
All Dorothy wanted to do was attend high school.
The images that were taken that day made it to newspapers around the world.

I experience "reverse-racism" almost daily here in suburban Cleveland. Young people, old as well, refuse to assimilate to a culture or sense of calm that they did not experience in the East Side neighborhoods they themselves chose to leave from. I do not accep the fact that those individuals who chose to leave their neighborhoods in which they were reared in are aspiring to less hate and less crime themselves. With a large number of gay people in my suburb, why do minorities discriminate against them so? If the reverse were true, those gay men and women would be called "racist." Ugly stuff, indeed. Intensely ugly, to be sure. If this gets published, someone may learn something: Respect is Earned.
