Talking with him the race factor NEVER entered my mind. I don't care. He is a wonderful man, so far and that's what matters. The only time I thought of it is when HE brought it up and it what he said made me very sad. When he went to look at condos to buy, he was aware of vehicles with confederate flags (please, no offense to any southerners, just what he SAID) in the parking lot, apparently was a concern to him. He did buy the condo, though and didn't mention any trouble. He also jokingly (but not really) said, when I come to your house (a white community) hope I don't get lynched. Oh, did this bother me!!! I'm thinking about this wonderful man who lives a life where he has to constantly be aware of of bigotry. Made me very sad and angry!!!!
