Who leaves a used condom in an elementary school parking lot, anyway?

when i was about 7 the boy down the block told me. he had 7 older siblings.
But I'm worried- my neighborhood was mostly poor rednecks and 100% white. his family would have been in the running for most redneck. once he said "black people aren't as good as us." me and my other friend who grew up at the other extreme of the redneck dial challenged him. "why?" he said his family had explained they get this disease called sickle cell and we don't, so we're better.
no one else ever really explained it to me, and sometimes I wonder if maybe his sex knowledge was wrong too.
the weird thing was, and i called him on it once, his favorite athlete was willy horton. (not your willy horton ggg). the guy was like the son in Do the Right Thing-
