Worked with a black fella who always wore black. I knew the answer but at a company picnic I asked him if he was a Johnny Cash fan as he always wore black. His answer? “I walk the line”
Charlie and his wife were very southern and rabidly hated by the other blacks who hung around our shop. (they weren’t really co-workers because they didn’t really do much of anything)
Charlies said they don’t like me because I speak english, they don’t like me because I better myself and they don’t like me because I don’t care that they don’t like me.
