24. Oh Please, you don't know who the fuck you're talking to....FOR ME, IT'S NOT A BOOK of

stories and recounting history BUT a VERY real thing. I have 7 relative lynched between 1919 & 1960: a racist farmer tried to set fire the little wooden house my Grandmother was in with her NEWBORN BABY: an uncle had to flee his nice home and prosperous farm in MISSISSIPPI in the dark of night. because a little birdie warned him that the "night Riders" were on the way to first beat, mutilate then burn him in said home BUT not before taking a few things they wanted because a n*gger wasn't supposed to have things nicer than they did.; the Klan in Rice Texas road on my Greatgrandfather and family, ( they called his the white n*gger) because...you got it., He was too prosperous. I'm sure the fact he was Irish married to a LITERAL "Ebony Beauty", didn't help. That part of my family REFUSED TO RUN. Instead, they laid a trap. They positioned themselves in the HUGE oaks, willows and elms,with guns loaded with rock salt, Aiming for the glutes, legs and arms/ The Klan showed up on Horseback & my 7 great uncles, ggrandfather & a various cousins & friends Unloaded on them. Apparently, these morons didn't expect black folks to fight back....and they couldn't get out of there fast enough.
The next morning, Grandpa went into town to talk to the sheriff but was shocked at what he saw.

His friends, (the sheriff, 1 on his deputies, the MAYOR, the pastor at the largest white church in the county and many others he played poker & dominos with), were LIMPING, ON CRUTCHES, IN SLINGS. He turned heel and rode him BUT needless to say, they NEVER again bothered with my GGranfather WILL.

This is REAL to me as I have been followed through stores with enough money to buy anything I wanted: brother has had POLICE TRAIN GUNS on him, (holds a degree in Physics, w/a minor in both astronomy and astrophysics),, as he pulled up to his OWN HOUSE: father was arrested at gunpoint for an armed robbery,police claiming that he fit the description and was released when the booking officer compared the description: the perp was about 5'8", 130lbs bald with a yellow complexion, while my father is DARK reddish brown, at the time, 6'6", 250lbs & a FULL HEAD OF HAIR! Hell, when I was a newlywed, my husband and I went to park in one of the parks along the Sacramento River, where alot of people go, at dusk. We were talking and the next thing we know, LIGHTS ARE TRAINED ON US AND AT LEAST 10 red laser dots on us. There were at least 5 cruisers, around us. They asked why we were there and who we were. Luckily,we'd just gotten married and had a copy of our licence in the car. I was then told that they thought I was a prostitute and Brian, my john because there'd been alot of that sort of activity in the area...REALLY??! Even if that's been the case, did it REALLY require 10 cops, 5 cruisers and at least one shotgun? In fact, I'll NEVER again darken the door of John Ascuaga's nugget because in the late 80's, I was there for New Years with my , then fiance. I was standing behind him while he played Black jack. I was PULLED away by what I can only assume was security and told to leave because they though I was a HOOKER? W...T...F!
Save your books and read them yourself because it's NOT a book for me but reality & there's NOTHING you can say to change that fact.
