Another friend?

Today was a good day. For the first time since I have been in this city, I have actually met someone of the opposite race that I can probably call a friend. His name is Chris, and he defended me today, when some other white kids started to call me a nigger. He even introduced me to his girlfriend who seems pretty nice. They are both kind of weird though. I guess you can call them hippies. They told me they were not raised on the ignorance of popular culture and the media. That everyone does deserve to be treated equal and that not everyone is like what most of the other white kids here are like. I never thought I would enjoy the company of a honkey, but they really are good people. Maybe what Dr. King said about his dream had some truth to it after all. Maybe things are beginning to change…
