to play devil's advocate here...unless you stopped and talked and them u can't say that. they may well have known that they were black but in a mostly/all white community you may have been the first live black person that they had seen in person outside of themselves.

*get Lewis Taylor cd's here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000006TEI/o/qid=983465806/sr=8-2/026-0085729-5341211

much cheaper than the regular amazon (they charge $30 bucks) you'll pay 12pounds here which converts to less than $15 bucks.
