[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655947, member: 17461"] I love him. A hero. You have a hero, Going. Something tells me he would do very well, whatever color his neighbors are. What a cool plot for a movie. I love the hero part, and it would be really something worth watching, to see suspicions resolved into friendship between the characters as you have described them. (On both sides ~ we need to remember prejudice splatters in every direction and show up in the strangest places.) Mine does. I am continually surprised at my prejudices. I know enough of the usual suspects though, to realize they feel that exact same way, about me. The first time I was in school, a black lady that I had somehow come to know (this was almost fifty years ago) would come to my apartment. There was no friendship there, but there was such curiosity on both sides. She wanted to know what white people did when they went home. I could not get over that the photographs in her room, the ones of her family, were of people who were not white. I had never seen a photograph of a mom, or a sister or brother, who was not white. That was the most surprising thing, to me. That this woman's family was black people, too. Cedar [/QUOTE]
