When I was about 7 years old, I was visiting my great uncle in a rest home with my grandfather. Charley Smith, the oldest man in the world was also a resident and my grandfather said...

"See that colored man over there? He is the oldest man in the world. You should go over and talk to him."

I proceeded to walk over and ask him, "Mister, what color are you?"

Such innocence at that age! BTW, we became good friends and I sat and listened to his stories for hours. I am truly blessed to have had that opportunity.
