Yeah my grandmother would say things like 'why is her skin black?  She shouldn't stay out in the sun so long' real loud out in public.  It was really sad since she was never like that before her brain started going.

At least he said 'BLACKS'.  That's progress.

My dad's parents said "colored" all the time, though it was innocent and just the term they grew up with.  I never really heard them speak negatively about people of color. 

Now my mom's dad threw the n-word around freely but my mom's mom usually scolded him for it and reminded us that "black" was the appropriate term.  Looking back, I suspect that 90% of his "racism" was an attempt to get on her nerves.  I never saw him treat black folks any differently from whites.

One time her grandma said to him "Bill, what happens if you get to heaven and it turns out that St. Peter is black?"

He said "Well, then I guess I'm screwed!" :D
