I walked my daughter to her bus stop like I do every weekday morning but today was not like any other day. The bus stop is at a stop sign in "The Grumpy Old Man's" Yard, That's what the neighborhood kids call him. Anyway, a little red-headed boy walked across the street to antagonize a black lab that was behind a fence. The next thing I know, the old man walked up to me and my sister and told us, "I know that little red-headed kid doesn't belong to you all but you better tell his parents or somebody that if he does not stop pestering the dog, the dog will jump over the fence and you'll be in trouble." Then he goes on to say, "That dog will even eat black people!" What??? I looked at my sister dumbfounded wondering if she heard the same thing I did. We looked at each other and laughed. My sister's daughter is biracial so he must have been talking about her! So, my warning to you all...watch out for black labrador's that eat black people...
I hope this post does not offend anybody. If it does, that was not my intention. I was trying to make a point that some people, like this old man, are racist and ignorant!
