Black person story (1 of 2): Train.

The other week I was waiting on the platform for the train to come, and as the train approaches, I could see that instead of the line name on the front, it said "Not in Service", and then I looked more closely, and on the front it said something about a training train, and in the front of the train were like 4 (African-American) transit authority workers, one of them very nervous as they controlled the train and the rest watched on.

For some reason, that made me smile, and as the train pulled up, 1 (African-American) guy looked up at me, and so I nodded and gave a thumbs-up, and he burst into a smile and gave a thumbs-up back.
