Bohunks

The mind wandered back to the days when Kadizzle was a kid.  Our grade school had a mix of kids from the well off neighbor hoods and from Gregsville.  Greggsville was a poorer section of town.  Looking back we were mean.  Kadizzle lived in the nice area, and often the kids from Greggsville were referred to as bohunks.  Kadizzle never really knew what a bohunk was so this morning Kadizzle looked it up.  There is such a word.  A bohunk was a low class laborer from southern Europe.  In retrospect Kadizzle feels bad about how those kids were treated.  They were nice kids.  Kadizzle remembers Mary, Mary Ellen, Henry, Arthur, and the Yees.  The Yees were Chinese.  The Yees drank chicken blood and ran a laundry.  Pretty little Mary had polio which crippled one of her legs.  Henry and Arthur were brothers and grew up to be grave diggers.  They like to say " we throw dirt in the faces of the best people in town".  Their sister Mary Ellen had some mental problems.  The social safety net in those days was pretty poor.  In the fifth grade Kadizzle remembers having Mary Ellen, and another mentally disturbed girl from the children's home in class.  It seems no special attention was provided to these kids with serious problems.  They were just put in school as a place to keep them.  The story was Margie had seen her parents burnt to death in a fire.  All of this comes to mind as we see how Trump has no regard for the poor and underprivileged.  As a young person maybe it is forgivable to be an unsympathetic person.  But we have a child for president and we should not tolerate what he does.
