Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 101<br />

“Terrell, my momma c‟n prob‟ly whip yo‟ fat niggah ass!”<br />

“Terrell, ya‟ll ain‟ shit, niggah!”<br />

Yeah, they really gave it to him. Both barrels. Terrell was apparently too<br />

embarrassed to walk away this time. He‟d been shamed terribly in front of “the<br />

brothers”. By a white boy. That was just too much for him to accept.<br />

When he got up, with no coach in sight to break it up, I knew our showdown was<br />

finally coming to pass. Granted, there were probably hundreds of places where I‟d rather<br />

go at it with this asshole, but we don‟t always get to pick what we want. You can pick<br />

family, who you‟ll fall in love with, or the time and place of things that happen in your<br />

life.<br />

blood.<br />

As I got started, I remembered the only fight I‟d ever had with a black kid. His<br />

name was Greg Davenport, a student at Holy Cross. He was a very black kid, and had a<br />

mouth on him like Malcolm X. (I‟ll share something on that at the end of this part).<br />

Greg wasn‟t so much a troublemaker as a rabble rouser. He got pissed off at me one day,<br />

although I don‟t recall why. He hit me. In accordance with my code, I took exception.<br />

As a result, I thoroughly beat the livin‟ shit out of him, but the first few crushing blows I<br />
