Five yeas after graduating high school
I was about to enter my sixth and final year of college when I saw my high school Janitor. He was a cool black guy much liked at what had at first been an all white high school. He had a job at this state college still working for the state. He was about to retire.
I asked him about my old school and he shook his head and said sadly that the new black students had no respect for him and called him an Uncle Tom. He put in for a transfer and he was sent to my community county run college. This college was about 90% white.
I mean here was a black man, gainfully employed trying to do his job and he was getting joned and being called Uncle Tom.
I'm glad he got his second gig and I hope he enjoyed his retirement. He deserved it.
So nice.
