“Daddy and Roger and ’em shot ’em a nigger.”

Sometimes lines from books just strike you.  I'm been posting interesting lines from books (well this is only my second time doing it.  Continuing to tweak what I share on social media.

This quote is from the true story, Blood Done Sign My Name by Timothy B. Tyson

I shared an interesting video on the book's page, of Tyson giving a talk about racism in the south.  He is a historian and provides an interesting perspective, but he is literally preaching to the choir. The folks who need to hear his message I'm sure are not listening.  Perhaps use of the word "nigger" in my post will attract the attention of people who could most benefit from his words.
