Ya know it's funny, with the advent of cell phones, that 5$ seems crazy expensive for a phone call!

[snook]

It was crazy expensive LOLL I use to dread getting the phone bill. People really do not know how LITTLE communication there was once you left your house. Is that a good thing or bad?

For me, with Alex so far away I have to say a good one but once in a while, I wonder.......

What a powerful and timely post. Thank you, for raising your voice.

Like you, I didn't know until I knew. I'd known people of color (mostly hispanics where I lived) and played ball with them. Not a problem until I went to pick up a ball player for a summer tournament. I was completely shocked by the 'housing'.

You know what? I was going to write more here, but I'm going to add my voice. It's the very least I can do.

Thanks Snook.

I don't really know... I feel I wanna at least feel from someone experienced enough how that looks like for historical recording reasons, but I can tell from the inner of my guts that this something completely out of my comfort zone.

I don't even know what to say... my only words on these circumstances are, "wish you all the best" and "adapt as quick as you can avoid the less collateral damage as possible".

[snook]

It wasn't in my comfort zone either.

This is a part of my life I rarely talk about for personal reasons. Now was the right time for part of this story to be told. I could have written another 1500k words on all I saw but people do not like to read so I didn't want to push it. I wanted people to realize not all are equal.

Thank You for your kind words. We learn life lessons living through bad times. The trick is to learn from those lessons and not become bitter but that is a story for another day......

[forykw]

Exactly!
