thanx for giving me some slack on that. my context is that i never even saw a black person in real life until i was in high school, and that was mostly because our television set was black and white, they were not even represented in my home range.
so, fast forward, to when after a college scholarship to run fast and use my body to take out their fast runners, these guys from miami and chicago were able to always be a step faster than me, and i was the quickest local guy in the area, so the reality was a bummer. (except for Doug Beduoin, who ended up playing for the Patriots for a long time, before his level of suck caused him to be retired) so i started to believe that the black guys were always faster because of some genetic advantage (translated: racism). but i have a tupperware tub full of ribbons and medals and such that are of approximately zero value after one moves on from childhood.
wasn't excited about having a mixed race grandkid with no father around. i am in a position to help, and now the joy of my life is to see him catch his toe on a board and not trip and fall, and do backflips on his trampoline before he can even pronounce backflip or trampoline.
I just wish i would be able to be there to help him during his inevitable racial initiation, but i will not be, so i am a bit touchy about the n******* word.
