Exactly Ten Years Ago

I was in a high school assembly for a Thanksgiving celebration before our 4-day weekend. Members of the football team put on a very racist skit depicting Indians and pilgrims, with the endorsement of our school. I was sickened. I yelled out that it was racist, but other people were laughing or cheering as they finished their skit with a McDonald's eating contest and I was ignored. It is interesting how we remember moments like this, and how they stay so vivid in our minds all these years later.
