Reply #2: I understand what you are saying.

It is really hard to talk about because it is so hard to explain, and race is such a difficult topic. The first time a similar thought occurred to me was when I was wearing my Obama shirt around town the day after I received it in the mail. I live and work in areas with a high minority population. I wondered then if I was imagining it, but it seemed like people were glancing at my shirt and then smiling and greeting me way more and/or more enthusiastically than they had previously. I know what you mean about feeling like we were on the same team.
