... Listen to this, Clay...
When I first come over here, one o' the lads living
next to me was a college fellow attending university
at WVU... Kevin was taking a class in American Race
Relations or something-such - and told me that he
learned that years ago down south 'round Alabama
and what-not, the KKK people would make soda-pop
(called just "pop" around here) and sell it off
REAL CHEAP to the black-skinned people.
Seems the blacks (like everyone else) LOVE pop
- and would drink it all the time. The makers
would put salt-peter inside, that would make
it difficult for the randy black blokes to
get stiff-ons - so it would then be tougher
to have 8 babies each and what-not.
We can laugh OR cry at this,
but I'm serious - Kevin told me that this was
being discussed in his college class.
... Life in the South.
