Why I Ran Away from Home

Walk with me in my shoes as I share my life of love, pain, joy, and prejudice. Fortunately for me, I was a '70s baby, so I was exposed to many types of music from '80s and '90s till now. That is a multitude of change. Unfortunately for my parents, they never evolved with life. They didn't accept change as the years progressed. Times changed as did my friends. In my teens, majority of my friends were black and Hispanic. Imagine me in Texas in the '80s with racist parents in a racist state with black and Hispanic friends. I had no idea my parents were racist until I brought a black friend home.
