"Black roses..",

That was a superb post, and it sounds like you've had a great experience in China.

>When people aren't around a specific people or culture they can form their own opinions about them. But when they come to know you, they come to love >you.

That's so true, especially in my experience as a black teacher in China. That's the point I was trying to make in a previous post.

"Black roses...", thanks for sharing your experiences.
You are a great inspiration for myself, black people and any persons who may be discouraged by discrimination,whatever their background.

Your experience proves that life is what we make it.
Power to you. I wish you all the best in the future.
