"A lot people said things like "Hell yeah", stuff like that."


From 'The Community of Color Gazette':

"Man of Color Wonders What World Would Be Like If Whites Didn't Vote"

Paul Glades, a Black Man of our Community of Color, was overheard wondering what the world would be like if whites were not allowed to vote.

When asked, Mr. Glades confirmed the statement.

"I was having some beers at the Tavern, watching the news, and it hit me: what would the world be like if whites couldn't vote?"

Glenda Moore, bartender at the Tavern, corroborated the story.

"Paul, he thinks some thoughts. We were just watching news about the election, and Paul just said he wondered what it would be like if white folk didn't vote."

When asked if anyone at the Tavern had any answers to Mr. Glades' question, Ms. Moore responded the following.

"A lot people said things like "Hell yeah", stuff like that."

When Mr. Glades was asked about answers to his question he paused with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"I haven't thought it that far. I just know things would be different, that's all."

Randy Coolidge, a Tavern patron, elaborated on Mr. Glades' response.

"F**k yeah it'd be different. That's a fact."

When asked how it would be different, Mr. Coolidge had the following to say.

"None of your f**cking business."

So there it is: a Story of Change in our Community of Color. For more stories like this please read 'The Community of Color Gazette'.
