My dad was always hard right, so my exposure was a birthright. In elementary school in coastal Carolina, I befriended Cleo and this got me exposure to their world. I studied the situation and just felt sorry for them. I was the only white kid to ever venture into their country neighborhood. The older black women watched over me and Cleo's mom hoped that having her son befriend me, he'd learn better how to make it later on in the bigger world. He is doing pretty well, so there's that.

In adult life, I have never been able to have black friends. It's for the best. Being so blond with blue eyes seems to automatically set them off.
