She was the one white person in a store full of other black people. He did it to make a statement. It left an impression on my wife and on me, that in his eyes, it’s ok to be white.

I made a post here about a week ago talking about how I've actually noticed the black people I interact with in public places have actually been sort of extra polite, in a way that makes it quite obvious they are concerned with what people are thinking of them right now. I'm not saying that they should have to feel that way, but it's definitely understandable. In a way it's been reassuring that interactions with normal people show they are rightly concerned with blm... and they have an understanding of what has been done and is being (purposely) done to race relations. They do not want to be associated with the people who are acting as nothing more than terrorists.
I noticed this running through a drive thru yesterday for work. A black employee i have seen many occasions before seemed extra friendly. I said my normal please and thank you during the sale and he wished me a good rest of the day and a quick exchange about how he was ready to be off work. It was pleasing to make small talk with him, I hope he had a good day today too
