and Why should I care

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
