I grew up seeing Black People own EVERYTHING AROUND ME. Doctors. Lawyers, grocery stores, dry cleaning, etc! And even as a child their was always a bizarre undercurrent from Whites who DID NOT LIVE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY. Until I finally went to My High School, I was only told in bits-n-pieces that there was a type of White Person who took issues with Me and Mine because of the color of Our Skin. But for as long as Black People controlled Our Neighborhoods, then I was not exposed to such stupidity.
Even as I type this I remember My Grandfather telling me that "There is always going to be someone who doesn't like you at some point or another. Always remember, it's the ones who dislike you for no good reason that you gotta be careful of. They're the ones who'll try to sneak ya...!"
Rest Well Grandfather and Grandmother and thank you for everything...!
