While stationed in Meridian Mississippi in 1996, I didn't know that Meridian Mississippi is like Klan headquarters or some shit

A shipmate of mine, white guy, went and got a new car as folks just out of boot camp tended to do. His mother told him to just drive around and get lost and find his way back out. That's the best way to learn new territory

So he did

Fast forward a few weeks and he and his girlfriend, a black chick, and me decided to go bar hopping with our friends IDs who looked like us.

We walked into one bar that was built like a pencil , you went to the door and you can go straight back

We walked inside the bar with his arm around his girlfriend and him talkin to me and they were having a Klan meeting inside the bar

Half the guys in the bar had their hoods on while the other half didn't

Our reaction time was a bit quicker, we did an about-face and hightailed it out of that bar.

I went to jump in the passenger seat, his girlfriend open the back door and dove inside while my friend did a Dukes of Hazzard across the hood, open the front door, sat and turn the key in one motion all before those crackers exit at the bar

But they were coming.

My boy peeled out and we heard whooping and hollering behind us as they ran to their trucks.

I don't know how long they chased us but my heart was beating out of my chest. My buddy was calm though, he didn't look back oh, but his girlfriend was terrified

That bit of advice his mother gave him about getting lost and finding your way back out when in New Territory kept him from running into a dead end or something because we eventually outran the klan in his car.

We didn't stop until we got on base. The three of us hugged while shaking and crying realizing we came that close to never being seen again

I bring this up because I heard Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte had a similar run-in with Mississippi racists back in the 60s

Yeah, I was there for Personnel man (PN) A School. There was also Yeoman, Storekeeper, and a few more

I ended up losing my A School and sent to the fleet undesignated because I couldn't type

Actually, this was the best thing for me because I ended up testing into Storekeeper (SK) which is what I do now, order supplies

He was the ultimate barrier breaker. You could see his struggle in his performances . He spoke to us through his performances
He was always a class act. He took on just about everything in his roles. Heavy dramas,comedies and action films.

Yet I don't recall seeing him playing any character which would be considered demeaning which says a lot of his character considering the time he broke into the business and the lack of roles for brothers that weren't demeaning.

Portier "born in Miami" never compromised his integrity or his profession. On a side note Charleston Heston went from standing with blacks in the 60s to the Chairman of the NRA...

This is why Black people are hesitant to or refuse to trust White people
