I have farm in the outlying area of town. A year or so ago my wife a son, who was two at the time, came into town to do some shopping. We stopped for fuel before leaving town and had the following incident happen. While fueling up a very nice Lincoln Town car pulled in with a well dressed black male driving. He exited his car and was speaking to what I would guess was college students telling them to get a hold of him before class started and he would go over it with them. I suspected he was a teacher at the college, I did not ask. While inside the station standing in line to pay my two year old asks me if that is a black man. Before I could answer this guy starts yelling and screaming that I am racist and am teaching my child to be also. All the while screaming and cussing as I had my wife and son go to the truck so I could pay. I didn't respond until after exiting the station. I pointed out that he was only two years old and my have never been aware of racism if he had not started acting so foolish over a harmless question from a small child. Before speaking to this man I looked at him as a professional teacher, he looked and acted kindly, and appeared to be a respectable person. Since this time I have had to deal with my son now being afraid of black men. I was not brought up to be racist and even shared a home my parents owned in Maryville with another black man when I went to college in the 80's. I didn't have to, I choose to, because I liked the guy and he needed a place to stay. My son we be starting school next year and is afraid this will be his teacher. I hope this is not the case, as I will not be so polite the next time I encounter such a fool, of any race.

Abe Lincoln had the right idea in his historical quote "emancipation shall be followed by immediate deportaion". To bad he was executed before he got to fulfill his promise, but what is worse is that NOBODY has fulfill his promise.

i think to many white people are afraid of blacks,we know they are a sub culture and are a violent race,but stand up to them,if they are alone they will cower and do nothing
