all the hate is gonna burn you up kid
I could on on about her falling for the Usurper’s hate for America
Not going to do it Instead
I’ll tell of the time, the first time I ever met a black person
the whole family piled in truck, kids in the bed
going down the road
took a drive over to the Huron Bay
it’s located in the Baraga Maya Echols
usta to be a store there who sold a lot of handmade craft stuff
beadwork, many item made from fur
handmade snowshoes
just all kinds of stuff
anyways Maya Echols
in walks this Air Force guy wearing a uniform , white guy I remember him holding the door, in walks a kid with his mother right behind
I didn’t know it at the time, a married couple with a kid from England
His name B. Stanley his first word was WOW look at all this stuff!
mind you Maya Echols B. Stanley is like 8 years old, I was 9 at the time
for me at the time it was like a trifecta of sorts
ya see Maya Echols Not only was B. Stanley a kid
His dad was TDY from England
That’s right Maya Echols
A black kid from England and talking funny!
What were the chances of that Maya Echols!
Before my mother could grab me I was off across the store
I ran up
Boozhoo! aaniin ezhi ayaayan!
B. Stanley ran to his dad kinda hid behind him
my dad had come up TALK ENGLISH
HI!
talk some more! talk some more!
B. Stanley finally said hi kinda shy like
talk some more! what’s your name!, where you from?!
The more he talked the more I laughed
no Maya Echols,
I wasn’t laughing at B. Stanley
having never heard the English Accent before it came across as funny
I was focused on the fun of the language
By that time the whole family was over there introducing each other
everything was good
B. Stanley and family did come up twice to the Keweenaw area to visit
which was like really cool
At times Maya Echols
I had wondered what was said before they came to visit
Kinda like dad,
” let’s go see the indians again ”
or stuff as that
Should I take offense to that in a bad way, of course not
they came to visit us again
that was the important part
I never did see B. Stanley and his family after that summer
Ya know Maya Echols
you should learn of the 7 Grandfather teachings
then you’ll understand about being a good person
