So do you regret it yet.
Moonz, were you already reading Lord of the Rings by then? You look like a bookish sort.
What was it you thought you were perhaps explaining with the original post?
This whole thread about a 40 year old photo just to prove you have a black friend? Well now i'm sad.No
It was a normal camp
Probably still around
It had a scholarship program whereby it brought in the inner city youth.
I grew up on Long Island in Suffolk county on the southern shore
There were no blacks
So this was, to say the least, culture shock
The dude with the football as I recall banged every female counselor at the camp
It was very eye opening
Weeks later I received a letter from one of those kids that said in part, "I couldn't tell anyone else (the other black kids), but you was my best friend at camp." It was sweet. Pretty sure my mom
Saved that letter.
I only suggested that I was exposed to a blacker world than everyone else here.

Based on one week of camp?
Because of your black friends at camp or do you mean metaphorically "blacker" because of an experience that happened with that counselor?
