Dear potomitan
Thanks for your reply, but I wonder, why do you assume that I was referring to "Black" Americans only. In my original comments, I did not mention the race or ethnic background of the American children my father forbid me to associate with. Did you assume that they were Black because I am, or maybe, because you have your own prejudices against Black Americans?
In fact, my father did not want me to associate with Americans no matter what their race. To this day, he does not trust them, white or Black.
