Blythe, Kwame

From Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki

Blythe, Kwame was the older brother of Tanisha.^GT2

He considered white people to be tools of the devil.^AT4

He tried to physically prevent Tanisha from going with Jon, but with a lucky kick, Jon was able to knock Kwame down long enough for Tanisha and Jon to get away in his car.^AT5

In April 1999, just before Tanisha graduated, Kwame wrote her a letter. In it, he blamed his sister for their father's fatal heart attack, and promised to come for her at graduation, and take her back to "her church and her people".^AT12

In 2002, he was married to Shantel, but maintained an affair with a white woman Myrna Frederick. Several years prior, he had an affair with another white woman, Vivian Hammerstrom, who then vanished under mysterious circumstances. One of Kwame's congregants, Martin Clemmens, is a paroled criminal whom Kwame used as an enforcer.^GT18
