white guilt/white neighborhood

HELLO
You said
A stranger
Exiting where I would enter
HI
I smiled back
Trying to be friendly
And casual
Trying not to think
That I smiled because of the shootings 
To compensate for my whiteness
What I wanted to say was
Thank you
For saying HELLO
No one speaks to each other here
