John in Kahala year how do you say you're
city name then California John tell you those
how you got soak a great whatcha here on
the at my wife and i own a business I in the
closest biggest town near San Luis Obispo no Central Coast California and I
had a very similar experience
I'll I decided to a
had to make a delivery for our business and that was early in the morning
and I called up to the business
the the employees on we're not there yet normally
I I would leave the package upper crust the business
now this this is just happens to be across
the parking lot from a homeless shelter which
arm our business Leone has been very
I'm good at as donating I'm food
mmm to I'm but I A
I called up and there is a black I am fifty
52 year old white guy from us and listen i've been I've been beat up by the best
for them down there
gang members back from a in the 70s and
a my dad kind of took the racist view on things
I never did I never look at it as a as the black community
that was beating me up I looked at it as that
percent them doing that and
I'm so I don't hate the black population
I just he did those people you know that did that to me
and so this is the mania
pretty wat town here and
I so but there's homeless people courses
nice weather and stuff they're here all the time and
on there is a black tie standing on front bicycle smoking a cigarette
and he appeared that he had just come from the homeless shelter
and normally I would have left the package
food out in front of this business and normally
I would leave my car running while I watch across the walkway to get to the
business
why what's up and I said okay analyst status
up two dollars around I shut my car off
left the package in the car and looked around to make sure
that there is no employees there and I decide to leave
and a normally
I would have left well I got home
and I discussed this with my wife because I felt like they did it because
he was black
enough that was a white guy I mean I've done it
and I'm the next day
he was out there again and
I left the car running this time and I said the morning Tom
any asked me you know
I was doing all that kind of stuff and I said fine message so they're not open
yet
and I start a conversation with them it was very intelligent he was very
nice and I am I said you not
screw this I'm leaving the package if he chases
then he needs it didn't take it as well as taxi guarded it
him until the employees came and
open the store yeah and well
did to me it I still
to this day and it happened maybe two months ago I think about this
almost daily because I you know I'm a total liberal
and like I said that they never
side love the black community
as I can smear against the way there's
good white people that white people there's good black people there's that
black people
we're just people trying to lives together
my and I am and yet we've all got past me
is a is a culture entered in stinks jonatha a marvelous story thank you for
sharing that with us
and and yeah I hope it doesn't happen again I I wish that I could
to get this out of me well I think I think the first step is talking about it
and processing it which is what we're all doing here
now I thank you for the pic for sharing
