>>different era
You brought me such reminders of my grandfather, a Texan and a gentleman, born in the late 1800s. He was most definitely racist, in today’s definitions, but he instantly leaped to his feet on a bus and gave his seat to any woman, black or white, or any person with a disability. He never saw the conflict between the views he was taught as he grew up, and the actions he took as an incredibly good person. Many thanks for bringing him to mind.
Am enjoying this discussion.
