Year: 1999
I was visiting Josh out in California. We decided to go to a football game, the first of the season. As I looked around the stands, something occurred to me that had never been in the forefront of my mind before.
Josh and I (along with his two friends) were the only white people at the game.
I had never realized just how, well, white our community was until that game. It was like the blinders were removed and I realized not all communities are full of mostly white people. Don't get me wrong- I am Dutch. I love this "Dutch Community". I just had never been aware of how non-diverse it was before.
Kayden reminded me again of that tonight.
We went to Josh's first girl's basketball game at Legacy. I watched as a black gentleman, wearing a navy pin stripe suit, came and sat down next to us. His hair was cropped short and he was carrying a black briefcase.
Thinking we were in the presence of the Commander in Chief, Kayden pointed to him and yelled to my mom "Grandma, do you like Barack Obama?"
