But it's more divisive if we focus on race. Hell the neighborhood is described as a "white" neighborhood; yet the homeowner who was getting her grass cut was black. Funny.

Would anyone view that statement differently if a white person would have made it?

IMO we should be glad when they do good things, sad when they do bad things, and content when they do what is expected from society.

I will just take you at your word that you would have had no reaction if the remark was made by a white person about black kids.
