Richard, first off...dude...that shirt rocks! As a white guy, I gotta say I've had ladies hold their purses around me too, so I'd take that one with a grain of salt. She may have been robbed before. Ya never know. As far as somebody yelling at you while driving by, that's appalling. I'm glad you didn't take that to heart because you are exactly who God made you to be man. Generally speaking, it seems that people of color think white folks are exempt from racism, but I disagree. The straight white conservative Christian male seems to be on everybody's 💩list the past decade. I've had a few instances of people treating me different because my skin color was paler than theirs. It doesn't make me hate colored people & never would. Humanity is trying to figure itself out... we'll get there eventually. Blessings to you & your family.
I plan on moving there in about 4-5 months coming coming from the south , I’m originally from Arizona but moved to sc due to job been here for 13yrs , now I’m moving to Idaho , I’m Mex/native pretty excited different scenery
Anike, thanks for planning and facilitating this interview. Richard thank you for your willingness to participate and your vulnerability. Richard, I am curious that you chose to become LDS despite not being born into it, and if I’m not mistaken, being widely exposed to the religion. Why did you decide to become LDS? Do you think your experience would be different (not as accepted) if you had not become LDS? How do you think non-LDS Blacks would be treated by the LDS community? Again, thanks for your time and your transparency.
This is what Richard sent me: Sorry for the delay. So to answer that question. I don't feel like I would have been treated differently. I've made friends of all walks of life since moving here. They are not all LDS. I don't exclude people because of their faith, that's how I grew up. So no it wouldn't be any different I think.
Great interview! Thanks Richard!
