I’m innocent. I wore red Chucks in Jr. High.
(Oh, No! I just thought of another potentially offended group...I guess I need to register for ‘reeducation’.)
I suppose I should issue a mea culpa: when I was 10, my mom used burnt cork to augment my skin for Halloween. I played Willie Mays. He was my first sports hero, and I wore his uniform proudly.
