Yep
Same age as my father. That generation hadn’t been exposed to the lies of our time for their entire lives. A lot of them still cling to reality, no matter how hard it is when everyone is pressuring you to agree with utter nonsense.
My Dad used to say that what a lot of people started calling “racist oppression” was simply poverty, or 1930s rural life, for everyone, no matter what their race or ethnicity. Mr. Raspberry probably remembered when just about everyone was poor by later standards, and it didn’t have anything to do with race ... it was just what life was like unless you were a Kennedy or a Rockefeller.
