As many of you know, I spent my formative years in the Charlotte suburb Matthews, North Carolina. From Kindergarten through Sixth grade I attended Matthews Elementary. During those seven years I had the privilege of knowing a young man who seemed to take pride in defying social convention. We’ll call him “Adam.”
Possibly Adam and his Father in the year 2010
Adam was a child of the Redneck persuasion. He was the loudest and most abrasive elementary school student I have ever met. Adam said what was on his mind and he meant it. Of course, Adam’s behavior was probably a result of how he saw his parents behave so we should not judge him too harshly. Instead, let us bask in his unfiltered thoughts and actions. I’ll preface my “strange and racist” story with two shorter incidents that took place in Third grade. These stories aren’t racist, but certainly strange.
