My moment of pride about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

In 1969, the book "My Life with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr." by his widow, Coretta Scott King, came out.
It was a best seller.

I did a book report on it in 9th grade English class.

When I sat down some little rectum called me a "N%%%%%-lover".

I was living in an all white town with an all white school district, due to red-lining. My high school had 3500 kids in four grades and one black kid whose daddy was the janitor at the bank. This is in a large suburb of 60,000 people.

They did not desegregate until the late 70s. I didn't know why we had no black people until my senior government teacher explained that if a black family looked at a house, the real estate agent would triple the asking price.

Then there was the little twit who insulted me and I called her "white trash". Whereupon she proceeded to call me "N----- Trash".

:wtf:

I am about as light pink as people get. I'm of British and Scots-Irish descent. What a complete idiot.
