Didn't really notice differences in color until High School where mainly the black kids banned together and treated others differently, not the other way around.

Walked down the hallway that was considered the black hangout walking to lunch in 9th grade. Didn't really think much about it until al black guy stepped out of the crowd punching my friend in the face. I immediately went after him, but he was faster than me. i then challenge every one in the hallway to take me on face to face without this punch and run chicken **** bull ****. They all just stood and looked at me real wide eyed. We went on to lunch. When we walked down that hall later, we were closely watched, but nobody did anything.

A friend and I was jumped by 6 black guys with knives as we went into a bathroom. Turned out bad for them. Friend shoved me out the door yelling to go get teachers. When got there he had all six pinned in a stall under his foot and the knives in the sink. He was a karate student.

Also got a gun pulled on me in science class by a block guy that was supposed to be my lab partner. He got expelled and I got a new partner.

In Junior hige one of my close friends was a black guy until his Mom found out I was white and told him I couldn't be is friend. We didn't understand why she didn't want us to be friends.

Bussing was a very educational time to go to school in basically a segregated city.

Then there was the whole thing about getting screwed out of a music career because the predominately white band parents did not want a black band director. The retiring band director and the black band director both apologized to me because they couldn't get the ******* the parents got hired hired to go thru with their plans to have me solo with the local philharmonic. I was drum major and aide for him for orchestra and played 3 instruments in stage band. On sax was 1st chair Allstate, Tristate, and made 1+ on my solo constests and second chair clarinet in junior philharmonic and I didn't even play clarinet, but he made me last chair and gave me "B"s for all those classes. Went to counsellors and when they confronted him about a musician in his class with all the accolades getting Bs he said it was a mistake and changed them to As. What an *******!

****ing racism and stupidity! Pardon my ****.
