I was so fortunate that along with a heavy dose of racist rednecks and poor whites who believed in God above all and some of whom were holy rollers, I also spent formative years in a city surrounded by black and Latino friends along with a rich mix of Europeans hailing rom France, Germany, Poland, etc.
