BILLY ADDED HIS PERSONNAL EXPERIENCE:

One September evening (Year1980), while walking home along West 79th Street, from Broadway to Central Park West in New York City, I was just reflecting what was going on in our world, shockingly a black youth abruptly came behind me and kicked me in the rear- yelling “Go Home Chinaman !”. I looked at him for a second and yelled back, “Hey, that’s a pretty powerful kick. You must be a great soccer player. You play Soccer ? I like to play with you. Can I ?” He did not know how to respond to me; waved his arm and left.
