When Harker was young, he didn't look like the delinquent he was today.
His looks matched his true personality. He was a nerd through and through. He loved science and books, and he wore large nerdy glasses and braces on his teeth. He was also lighter back then, as he had tanned more now, in order for people to not easily misjudge him as white.
He went to an elementary school that was predominantly black, and they lived in 'the hood'. The inner slums where crime was prevalent and more dangerous.
Back then, fellow black children would bully Harker every single day.
"Ain't no way the lady bringin' you over is yo Momma! You must 'ave been yer dad and a white baby mama's kid, and she just take your ass to not be the daily gossip!"
"There ain't no black nerds!"
"You so white you should be called 'Milk Choco'!"
"Kinda black on the outside, white on the inside. Like Oleo cookies!"
