Whites should have empathy for blacks while blacks have empty-for whites.
When looking at MrsCorpio and the bravenak primitive, one's struck by that they don't make them like they used to.
When I was growing up in the Sandhills of Nebraska, I noticed a lot of people spoke highly of a long-ago resident of the area, James "Negro Jim" Kelly (1839-1913), whose gravesite in the lily-white small-town cemetery is still by far the biggest and most prominent.
At the time, I supposed he'd gotten his nickname (actually, a little bit more coarse than just "Negro Jim") because maybe his skin was dark; after all, he'd spent a lot of time under the blazing Great Plains sun, from Texas, where he'd been born and raised, clear up to Nebraska, where he ultimately settled, and flourished and prospered.
When I got older, I learned he was really of African derivation, the real thing, as compared with Obozo.
When young, he'd been a cook for the cowboys on the cattle drives, later rising to prominence as a regular cattle-handler and sharpshooter. And then the right-hand man of the then largest cattle-grower in the Sandhills. He was a good man to have around whenever trouble brewed. And then further after that, a big cattleman himself.
Yeah, they don't make them like they used to. The welfare state mutated them.
