We were in Lonnie Mac's store, (Wade,NC, Highway #301) granddaddy declared very sternly; "Count yo'change! Don't you nevah move from the counter till you count yo'change!"
I am not sure granddaddy realized I was only five years old but, I got his point.
My grandfather went on instructing me on the best methods for survival on this evil planet. First lesson, people will cheat you, they will take advantage of your naiveté. Be alert! Stand up for yourself! Never do anything you would be ashamed to admit you did.
My grandfather taught me how to do all my math in my head while looking a white man dead in the eye.
"You got to learn how to count baby, count in your head. Otherwise the white man WILL cheat you, he thank (think) you figger lak a nigger. That is, you don't figger, don't count, ain't got no sense. So count in YO'HEAD! "
No, there is not a dime's worth of difference between races but, if people wish to believe so, let them. If poor gullible people wish to link up with the wealthy against their own best interest, go ahead.
I know I love my granddaddy, Jerome Walters! I know he was a saint!I know GOD planted him here on this earth as long as he did to protect ME FROM THE TALONS OF HIS DEMON POSSESSED DAUGHTER!
I know IT IS ALL IN DIVINE ORDER!
