[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1198865, member: 17767"] [b]Preface: The exposure I get to the news is limited to a moment when I start my computer. I do not read a paper. I do not watch the news. Consider the following as a fantasy or a fairytale. There is no pretense that it represents the facts of the Eric Darner Case. The purpose is for entertainment. Please know that the theme of my fantasy is not due to Mr. Eric Garner’s race. During my late 50s, I dated two different black women in Denver. I never felt any stigma attached to being in public with a black lady. We went to restaurants, bars, and took walks downtown. There was only one episode that might have been the result of racism. I was at her home in east Denver (Aurora), a predominately black neighborhood. When I went to get in my car, all four tires had been slashed with a box cutter.

I never stayed there for the night after that. And I never went there that I did not have a Wilson Combat .45 ACP on my person. She is a tall willowy lovely black woman.
