I think most of us have colorful stories and unbelievable tales to tell about our experience while living and working among the diversity population. I recall when I first began working for a major city, I was sent to neighborhoods that black women were too afraid to be assigned to. They thought it was funny to send a young blond woman out in the crime ridden trenches. I was constantly hit up on by black males and got the wrath of the black females.They were jealous,hostile and malevolent.It was one of the most miserable time of my life.

Thanks for writing. I hope you weren't harmed.

I was a foster care and sometimes adoption caseworker in NYC, late 1980s-early 1990s.

When and where did you do that? What was your job title?

Regards,
