Anthony was leaving a shopping center in Mobile, when he first noticed the elderly man right outside his white sedan. Seeing that the guy was alone, he made his way through the lot right up to this stranger, confronting him with a question. When he realized what was in the back of the man’s car, their “chance” meeting took an unusual turn. That’s when Kerri Watters entered the scene and snapped a photo.
The unnamed elderly man appeared a bit flustered. He was stuck with a flat tire and was a little on the weak side to be able to change the tire …show more content…
himself. Right as he was contemplating what to do so he could simply get home, Anthony approached him and asked if he needed help. With a sigh of relief, the older man accepted his offer, explaining that the tire needed to be changed and that there was a spare in the back. But what happened next drew tears to Kerri’s eyes, who was there to witness it.
Kerri is Anthony’s wife and knows him for the man he truly is inside, which is often misconstrued for what he looks like on the outside, according to a later post she made on what happened in that parking lot.
The white man didn’t seem afraid of her husband, which she said she was expecting, since Anthony is a “young black man.”
In her post on Facebook, she showed what Anthony did for this man, as he helped get the spare tire out of the trunk, then got down on the pavement and replaced the flat. In stating a public thank you to this white gentleman for not being “cautious” of her black husband as he approached, she said that she assumed it would have been this man’s natural reaction, based on how people are “made to feel in mainstream media.”
“With the things that have been going on in America, Anthony has every right to feel like he shouldn’t help a white man and this man has every right to feel like he should be cautious of a young black man walking toward him,” Kerri explained in her post, before showing the refreshing reality that we’re all just humans, who can do kind things for each
other.
“Thank you to my husband for being the man he is and without question wanting to help this man. And thank you to this man for not judging (a black man in all black walking up) and without question, accepting Anthony’s offer to help,” she added.
As proven by what Kerri said, the leftist media is responsible for creating the divisiveness between races, since in her own words, “Anthony has every right to feel like he shouldn’t help a white man.” However, we each have personal accountability for how we act and treat others.
