I guess I'm throwing her under the bus by telling this story....  |
My grandmother died a few years ago at the age of 104. I never heard her say one thing that was racist. Now try to imagine if you have a black grandson, would you say anything racist in front of him? Yeah, even if she did, he definitely threw her under a bus.
