This just proves to show where our society is headed if we continue not to care and not get involved in the community. We see too many houses being foreclosed on and neighborhoods going under and shelters overflowing with people.

Write a ResponseThis video gives us hope in the future. It would be so great to see everyone come together like this. Even though we know the olympics will probably never come to Charlotte, it would awesome. I believe if more people watched this then Charlotte could become a better place.
I do not like the white woman in this video. Although, she does act very well in the video because in today's society this is how people are treated. It is not fair but I believe our society will always be like this.
If everyone came together and wanted change then I believe that Charlotte could be like this. I don't see race to be an issue where I live in Charlotte but I have had experience with race problems in other parts of Charlotte.

I don't think she is an awful women, I just... read more
If Charlotte could make it this fair it would be awesome! I liked where the white woman turned around to the cleaner at her work. I think that parts in this would probably would never happen. They kinda went over board. Just for the women to be nice to the cleaning lady would be great but the chances of her asking her to lunch? and the Olympics? I think we are very far away from this.

It is very encouraging to watch this video. It would be great for Charlotte to overcome racial tension and come together. I sure hope this is what happens to Charlotte in the future.
