CC: When I would go to the store, you know I used to run in with my little money, and I know the little white kids would jump in front of me. And I'd say, I'm here first. And the store owner paid me no attention. He just waited on the white kids.

Once I was in this store, I don't know, it was about three white kids, some was 6 and some was maybe was around 12 years old. And this little white boy he said, Come, let me see your hands. I was sucking a lollipop and I want to know what does this little white boy want to know. So I put the lollipop in my mouth and I held up both of my hands. And he put his hands up against my hands. And they ran out of the store. And the store owner say, You know you're not supposed to touch him. I said, Well, he asked to see my hands! The store owner told my mother about it. And my mother said, Don't you ever, ever touch a white kid. From then on I know I wasn't supposed to touch them. I always avoided them as a little kid.
