There Is Not Racial Or Ethnic Domination Of Hopelessness. It's Everywhere.

I Couldn't Adjust To The Racism In Florida.

I Was Fortunate Enough To Have Been Raised To A Certain Point Before I Got Into The Race Thing. I Had Other Views Of What A Human Is, So I Was Never Able To See Racism As The Big Question. Racism Was Horrendous, But There Were Other Aspects To Life.
