Mama, why do whites hate?
Honey, forgive them that hate you.
God will settle that.

Still, the child asked.
Who created the Jim Crow law?
And why?
Honey, realize those that need regulation never seem to follow them.
And yes, the law was created by them.

The child asked.
Mama, I don't understand, If God is love?
Then why it so confusing?

Mama responded if your heart is sincere and pure than love will always be welcome in.

The child asked.
Until mama shut the child down.

We talk later.
