Subject: RE: BS: Extreme prejudice and friends
I pointed out a beautiful black singer on t.v. to my neighbor who was visiting. He said, "She's just a n----r" I had such a feeling of rage. It took me a moment to reply. " Didn't you learn anything in WW II?" He came to America as a 4 yr. old child-(fleeing Germany) My house is 35yrs. old and that word has never been said in it." Whereupon he made a hasty retreat. No loss to me. I couldn't get it out of my mind for weeks. You never know what some people are hiding.
