I'm white and have worked in a factory with 20000 plus people. It's funny. I was from sticks and raised on a farm if you will. 25 acres and raised tobacco. My dad built the house. We had one family I know of that was black. Log cabin and a dirt floor. Wood cookstove. This was until the Early 70's. I would hunt in their woods and give them some of whatever I got that day. We would kill 2 hogs and 1 beef each fall after it turned cold enough to hang the meat. Also chickens etc. Anyway we would give them food. They were supported by a group in the City that would send kids out in a foster home situation. We were all poor and I really didn't notice they were black. Can't mention names but I will never forget them. They raised 3 foster kids I know of all went to college. The lady was a beautiful woman ( inside) and her husband was a riot. He liked a beer now and again with me. I wish my children would have known them. I wish the black neighbors could have lived long enough to see Obama. Not trump.
