Angry Is it just me or what????

Hey all, I started my first day of community service at this church program to help "inner city youth" in single parent households. So on Wednesday nights, the church offer lunch to the children and then they go upstairs to their classrooms. Okay this is my problem here, I hope I don't offend anybody because that is not my intention.

I notice a difference in how the black children was handled than the white children. Okay, remember I said maybe it was just me. OOKay, the black children had to eat on plain tables. they had cold bologna sandwiches, and water to drink. They had to hurry up and eat and go upstairs before the white children come in to eat then go to Bible study. The table for the white children looked as if you were sitting down in a restaurant. They had the white table cloths, their silver ware was properly palced aroung their plates, and they had cloth napkins neatly folded. They had hot grilled cheese sandwiches. The black children had paper towels. The classrooms were freezing. Every room in the church was comfortable. It was as if we were on the outside.

One thing I can surely say that they did have nice educational resources. But my thing is I though that when an organization is providing a service to mankind, they are supposed to be giving children a better outlook on life. I was a little upset because my children was exposed to this. I took them with me. I mean why should there been a difference of how they treated the children.
I don't think that this organization is for me.
