65. I know that many black people don't have kinky hair
.

din't mean to suggest that they did

and I don't treat people by race, religion or political persuasions.

and as you indicated - I admit I am in a minority, especially at my young age of 55 having hair that is about 6 - 8 inches below my shoulders

A wee story from decades ago - approximately 1972

As I was attending college/training for my apprenticeship to become a Motor Vehicle Mechanic - I befriended (or he befriended me) - Gary, a black guy - don't remember his last name.

We ate lunch together, and had many discussions about our trade as we shared similar values.

One day, I was cornered by about six white guys ( I am white) who chastised me for hanging around with that N*****. I asked them not to refer to Gary like that and asked them exactly what their beef was - and one of the "brainier" white guys responded with "well - them N** are all assholes ya know?

I responded with - "well, ya know - I'm 21 years old, and all the assholes I have met were all WHITE"

They never bothered me or Gary again.

And in all the years since then, I have never had a problem with people of any ethnicity -

well

except WHITE people

still alot of white assholes around . .
