My dad was such a man.

Some white men in southern Appalachia felt the same way my grandfather did. They did not just disagree with racism, they hated it with passion. They would not tolerate filthy racist language or any action against a minority person. They would speak up and confront people about using racist language, or about belittling people of color.

My dad was such a man. We come of 'scalawag' Tarheel-to-Missouri stock. I am (at least) a second-generation Southern white anti-racist.
