''racist terms assigned to them by the paler neighbors who called them names behind their backs and tried to curb their civic participation with court actions?''
Larry
If you'll do a little more reading you will find hundreds if not THOUSANDS of instances where their 'paler' neighbors went to court and testified FORthem -- NOT AGAINST -- that they were Portuguese not African, that they were well repsected in their communities ETC., ETC.. ETC....
I'm positive in your own ASHWORTH family there were dozens of those PALER neighbors who petitioned for your Ashworths in Texas?
Funny how we always find what we are looking for isn't it?
