The truth is that I don't think of my mom as prejudiced because she's so good-hearted and generous of spirit, but she actually is in her own way. Last year I found a wonderful, just retired AA woman in Little Rock to take my mom around town on errands, to the grocery store, etc. One day she was telling me how much she liked this woman and enjoyed her company and in the next breath she frowned and said "Do you suppose people will think we're friends?" I was stunned and at a loss for words, still don't know what I should have said. As it was, I just kind of mumbled 'I don't know' or something similar. In my whole life, I never once heard either of my parents make a racial slur, quite the opposite, but here was a kind of prejudice manifesting itself. Strange.
