This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff

The truth
Today, I brought my 90-year-old grandfather into school for a project that required to bring in "a first-hand account" of the Great Depression. He started off by telling the class how in his day, they "threw rocks at black people." FML

Although that's horribly racist, I gotta admit, that's pretty hilarious.

Well he was just explaining how they couldn't afford anything so they used rocks.

Wow, well it was sweet he went there and supported you by going to your class. It is a tough subject to get into but at least he was honest. I hope all your fellow classmates and teacher were understanding and had tolerance for you and your grandfather, shit in the great depression weren't always pink with roses.

Sounds like somebody is racist.

Nope. Not at all.

As much as I understand why you thought an actual eye witness would be great, maybe just do the googling next time?

Especially when dealing with old people who just might go off the rails live in a situation like this, it would have been better to have recorded them - that way you know what you are getting before sharing. Almost everyone has a smart phone, tablet, or computer now. And I expect that your teacher could share your video to the class.
