I got this story from one of my students. A subscription may be required. A few months ago I got into a discussion with science fiction author Steven Barnes on his blog about "race relations." Steve's thing was that blacks had special problems they needed to overcome from discrimination (no disagreement) that led to them having severe cultural and psychological deficits (big disagreement).
Reading this story it is clear that the son has some issues to deal with. But for me the mother's story is even more tragic.
He will never be right.
And the mother is still living a lie.
How can her own son sour her on Blacks?
