Well, my parents openly cried in front of me in 1978 when the blacks got the priesthood, so there was my influence as far as "race relations" go. Three of my best friends in my early childhood (before 6th grade) were Mexican, Jamaican and Indian. Yeah, I'm sure I would have been in Selma throwing produce.
