I am an 82 year old white woman. Many years ago, when I was 6 or 7 years old, we lived on a farm where my father worked. One day when my younger brother and I were wandering around the farm, a black woman who also lived on the farm took pity on 2 scruffy little white kids and gave us each a piece of sweet potato pie. It was delicious! And a lovely gesture on her part.
