He said he went to work in West Wilmington, which was 90% black. That's the pool story. Y'know, Corn Pop? Rusty knives? Chains? Talking himself out of a beating? Kids running their hands up and down his legs?
I talked my way out of a beating once. That was in the Ramada Inn lounge across the GCP from La Guardia. A pack of Coke Truck drivers came in, apparently fresh from drinking heavily at their union meeting, and I made the mistake of still being in suit and tie.
Do you remember that moment though? He said something like that, I thought.

Thanks. Yeah, I must have translated Wilmington to Delaware in my head at the moment........ so, did he say why he went to work there?
Not on this occasion. I thought he was going to replay Corn Pop again...
mmkay. But he did mention the black percentage for some reason? I'm going to watch the debate again, for this and other reasons.
