My Father was a racist and a bigot. He hated Negros, Jews and the Irish. He made Archy Bunker look like a moderate.

The funny thing was at the end of his life his best friend was a Negro neighbor. The guy came to his funeral and openly wept at Dads passing. He thought he was just a guy brought up in a different world with different values.

If I had brought home a black girl he would have gone crazy, but he expected it from me.
