1399, I was born in West Virginia to a coal miners daughter and the son of a Sailor.
I was a military brat and lived most of my life and went to school with many races.
I lived in Okinawa and Yokohama Japan and fell in love with the Japanese.
My point is: I was born into a life style where races lived in peace with out prejudice and my Friends were red, yellow , black, white mixed etc...
Then one day the Navy moved us to Norfolk, Va. in 1980..... the School systems made us all watch the movie series "Roots"
I never had a clue until then........
