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........

Interesting information Coop. I never knew this about you until now.

I grew up without racial prejudice of any kind so I find myself hurting when I read some of the comments about race, colour, and culture in some of these posts.

There are reasons why people are like they are. It has to do with how they've grown up and the culture they've grown up in. There are some ugly, mean, badly dressed, and poor English speakers represented by white middle class North Americans as well as those of other races and colour.
