Thank you Question Fate!
To bring laughter to another is an honor, and one I embrace.
I've been to the races before, when I was 17 the high school exploded into violence because a negro freshman thought a white senior had somehow
disrespected him by having and voicing a negative opinion of the black muslim's public denouncments of white people.
The freshman tried a sucker punch, the senior was a brown belt in Tai Kwon Do, and a Golden Gloves champion boxer. He KO'd the black guy with a fully
delivered solid right hook near the left mandibular joint.
Racial tensions were high across the U.S. during this time, and the white kids hadn't been indoctrinated to absorb abuse in the name of inclusion at
that time, and anybody spoiling for racial trouble would not have to try very hard to have an "incident".
The white jocks forced the new pupils from Booker T. Washington off campus and told them that if they came back they were in for a beating.
And they were not bluffing.
Three black boys attempted to attack me as I was preparing to leave on my 350Honda, but my 38 police positive snubby had charms to soothe the savage
breast, and fit invisibly in my book bag, at least it caused a snappy about face and a retreat from a possible fatal mistake. It was not unusual for
the white kids to have rifles on their "Easy Rider Rifle Racks" in their pickup trucks, and pistols and derringers were available to anybody who had
the money and could see over the counter at K-Mart, and fathers did arm their sons and daughters because there had been some minor trouble earlier in
the week, a black kid pulled a knife and a white kid pulled a Louisville Slugger and scored a grounder to left field, insult to injury, the white kid
took the very nice Bali-Song away from the black kid, and threatened to break the black kid's knees if he ever came back on campus. An older group of
blacks were picketing the school the next day, but most of the kids didn't bother going to school that friday, and hijinx were in the making. drive
by birdshot attacks on blacks gathering at their usual hangout, nooses hanging from the live oaks, and inflammitory spray painted grafitti was
everywhere in "colored town", on cars, houses, inside and outside of black churches. Morning found dummies hanging where empty nooses had appeared a
day earlier. There was talk of the Black Panthers coming to shoot it out with the whites, and cars with blacks in them were stopped on the highways
into town and searched for weapons, alcohol, drugs, or inflammatory "radical" political
fliers. Those unfortunates having printed matter demanding the expulsion of the football team, the basketball team, the baseball team, the track team,
and the debate society, were booked in for incitement to riot, those with firearms were charged with "depraved mind"offenses such as "laying in
wait", and "breach of the peace" enhanced by "bearing arms in a manner causing public alarm" and one old black man was charged with "attempted
mayhem" because he was carrying a sickle he used to cut the weeds out on the edges of the cemetary.The charges were dropped because WHITE folks got
upset over old Uncle Benny being arrested.
It all eventually simmered down, but only one "hippie" black kid seemed to be colorblind, and he was cool, so cool trumped complexion in the
"Summer of Love", personal differences were navigated around, and we all lived through something that had the potential to rate up there with
"real" riots, right there in our little town. We all blamed commie pinko agitators, even though we'd never actually sighted a confirmed card
carrying commie pinko.
