Quite appropriate for June 19th . I was raised in a White neighborhood. Out of approximately 900 people I graduated with in High School . A handful were blacks . It was common to hear racist stories . I never told anyone. But in my gut I knew it wasn’t right . In the Navy I served with black sailors . The racial stereotypes that I heard in my youth were wrong . Exposer is the best cure to racism.
Great commentary.
Thanks pal.
I loved the storytelling of the evolution. In many ways it parallels my own experiences. We certainly are a product of our times.
