An inspiring discussion about racism between a white woman and black man ... has captured the attention of [millions]. Caroline Brock and Ernest Skelton share a special relationship. It all started with Skelton coming over to fix one of her appliances. People judge me before I even come in the door, so thats the reason why I ask, Is it OK for me to come in? said Skelton. The question caught Brock completely off guard. Over the weekend, Skelton went back over to Brocks home for second appliance repair appointment. Thats when Brock asked him a question that was a little more personal. How are you doing right now given the current climate? Brock wanted to know what the day-to-day life of a black man is like. Skelton opened up and told her some stories about how racism has affected him. He gets pulled over in his work vehicle at least half a dozen times a year. I dont even remember the last time I was pulled over, Brock said. Sometimes I have customers that need me after 5 oclock and I have to reschedule for another day. Im afraid that Ill wind up getting pulled over, and this time, I wont make it home," Skelton said. Brock asked Ernest if she could post their interaction on Facebook. He thought it would be a great idea. A few days later, they had more than 100,000 shares. In the comments ... a lot of white people say, Id love to have these conversations, but Im scared ... Im going to offend someone," Brock explained. But Skelton said he wasnt offended. If we want to change the world and make our country stronger, we have to be willing to step into the uncomfortableness," Brock said. The two hope that their interaction can inspire others to open up the conversation.
