before I ever knew
how white a cherry bough could be,
a bed of squills, how blue

oh hurt me tree and flower,
lest in the end death try to take

In all three of these studies, people who had positive attitudes about people of other races responded to interracial interactions in ways that were happy, healthy, and adaptive. — Jeremy A. Smith
