If I would have taken a picture with him and posted my story on facebook I think I had a legit shot of a meme and 100k shares

I told a black cop I was gonna call his daddy if he made me wear a mask.

He laughed. I laughed. We dapped and took the elevator together.

Also held the door for an absolutely gorgeous young black girl when leaving. And her mama.

Y’all think it’s bad now, back in the day it was worse. I had a friend in school, running back on the football team. They burned a cross in his front yard for asking out the homecoming queen

That’s pretty cool.... there’s about 90% of the population that is cool. What’s sad is the other 10% is just pure evil.

Maybe, but doubt it

Reality is it was Tracy, the black man, who the real good guy is in the story. He bought my drink for no real reason I guess except to be a good person

So, my facebook story would likely be met with some harsh critics Im sure

Come again?

I think he had glasses if thats what you are asking. If you know him, he was as nice a guy as possible with 4 sons. Figured there would be an Air Force guy or two on here that knew him. If so, he honestly made my day

Of course there is racism in this country just like EVERY other country since the beginning of civilization but it’s not as widespread as the left and media make it out to be. Racism is a very small problem in this country compared to other issues.

The last 12 years of working I was a supervisor over a group of workers. Some black some white. I got along with EVERYONE of them the whole time. No disputes no anger.... nothing. I treated them the way I would want to be treated. It worked........ People CAN get along with. It can be done.
