A young Tony Ray riding back from the market with his father.
"Poppa, why do they treat us differently?"
[ Silence ]
"Why Poppa?"
"Well son, Ah rightly don't know....Perhaps they just think they better than us. Perhaps they afraid of us. The government says we all the same, but that don't mean nothing to some folks. Ah guess the answer is life just ain't fair."
"But if the government says so..."
"No son, don't you worry about things, just do your best and try to stay out of their way. Change is coming, but you has to be patient. Don't get all uppity like your cousin does. Ain't no good going to come from him acting like that."
Uncle.
