UGLY but TRUTH:
I was twelve years old visiting family in South Carolina. Me and my cousins were playing basketball on a GRASS court (it was insane how we were doing this). One of my cousins in the group had shot the ball over the gate. Everybody immediately froze up and no one wanted to go get the ball.
So I said:
"Why ya'll scared to get the ball for.. just go get the ball."
And they said:
"We not allowed to go in his yard!"
So I jumped the fence, walked to the ball and picked it up. As I took my first step to leave, I heard a shotgun being cocked.
--At that moment I realized that, my cousins meant they couldn't go in the yard because they didn't want to die. I turned around to a big white man standing on the porch..
He said:
"What you doing in my yard nigg(er)?"
My father came running out the house to get me from the yard.
My father said:
"He's not from here and doesn't know how things (work) down here."
GOOD OLD AMERICAN EQUALITY :)
