A Change

The picture above is of my little league baseball team from North Shore (In Houston, Tx)
and this was my baseball team 3 years later when I moved across the Ship Channel to Deer Park.

I lived the first eight years of my life in a mostly black and immigrant neighborhood. The people in the house to the right of me were from China. The people in the house across the street from me were from the Middle East. I never encountered racism, and had no concept of it until I moved to Deer Park, Tx in 1990. I find it horrendous that this shit-hole of a town shares the same name as the location of Buddha's enlightenment. I miss being young and colorblind.
