I know Jay was talking about the general public, but would/did Ronnie get that as well? I am of the mindset that he did not. Because they just were in awe/shock/fright of this huge vascular Negro in their mist. Plus, Ronnie used to be a cop, so there were many people who would see him out and about in Arlington, Texas, of on the news. Meaning, people kinda got used to him...kinda the perks of having a normal job outside of bbing, you get exposure from mainstream media, and even though you may seem like a freak, you are seen as a regular working Joe.
So, would/was or is the public perception of Ronnie different than the public perception of Jay?
