I don't notice men with dark skins because 1 parent has also (I inherited the eastern european skin of other parent, not India of 1st). I am amazed when I suddenly notice 1 (colin powell, barry bonds were 2 I didn't notice for a long time). My easter european grandparent had a really hard time during WWI and II due to accent and mannerisms.


Mr.UP was raised in CA city, said he knew he would prejudge blacks due to fear of being beaten up which was impressed upon him as a child. I asked if he had been beaten up, he said only by white guys, which made him stop and think.
