re: #56 Dark_Falcon

That’s an eye-opening story. Thank you for sharing it.

That was reality back then. It was also my first direct experience with “one who was not white” due to segregation. Fortunately, it was one that was a very pleasant one and that taught me that the racist bullshit I heard was just that. I never believed any of it after that sweet man tied my shoe. I know that may sound dumb, but experiences like that for a little kid can make huge differenced in our perception through life. I credit him for that.
