Respect

To the young black man who, a few minutes ago, I saw take his empty drink bottle with him as he got off the bus, and toss it in the litter bin by the bus stop - thank you. I really appreciate you doing that rather than leaving it on the floor of the bus or dropping it on the ground, for someone to trip on.

To the young white man I saw just a couple of minutes later at the next stop throw a similar empty bottle on the ground despite being just a few yards from a litter bin - shame on you. You show no respect for me? I have none for you.
