Butler recalled an incident when he was 16 as he was walking out of a Walmart in suburban Houston with his brother. “A white man and his son, who is no older than maybe 6 — I’m walking with my brother, and we hear the kid turn around and say, ‘Hey, Dad, those are those n-words that you are telling me about,’” Butler said. “The kid doesn’t know any better. My initial reaction was to turn around and look at the father’s face. I’m 6-6 and my brother is 6-1 and he’s probably 6-foot, and yeah, he was intimidated by me. But the first thing that popped in my head was you had to [have] taught him that. [The kid] doesn’t know that. My daughter, I have to teach her that the stove is hot. You are choosing to teach your kid hate.”
