For years we lived across the street from two families who were totally racist. They spent years trying to out do each others racism against my family. The mother of one household spent years drinking brandy wine with breakfast & be passed out by noon. When school got out she would wake up & start yelling. The other family was a pipeline family. Dad was gone, mom was a church goer. Everyday she'd go to the Catholic church. They moved when it became clear Father Murphy was sexually abusing the boy. I looked up the abused boy about a decade ago. What I found was a wonderful human. He lives in the lower 48 & works to convict sex offenders. What I learned from that childhood experience was white families got lots of issues & they like to only focus on other peoples issues. Not their own. Like my dad said, they got lots of problems & being racist is only a cover up. Mom would make us share her homemade cookies with those kids. Every week. Thank god for moms cookies.
