It's kind of crazy.... I was working on a chapter for my book that deals with Ali..... and reading about the early 1960's when all over the USA there was black and white only water fountains, restaurants etc....... peope kind of think automatically that this was such a long time ago but.... suppose a guy was working at a restaurant in Louisville back in say 1960 and he was in charge there, he was 24 years old, working days running the restaurant.... he regularly stopped blacks from eating there, told them to get out, most likely in cruel fashion....he grew up in a day when a black kid could get lynched for whistling at a white woman (Emmit Till)... crazy to think that the guy today is still here most likely...and he is only 70 years old!!! He's still walking around every day... I wonder what guys like that, guys that told blacks to eat out in the alley, think of the country today... with Oprah being a megastar LOL..... Barack ***** a presidential candidate....Terrel Owens...Ice T and CoCo..... rap music, hip hop videos.... LOL..... he must think he's in the twilight zone!! LOLOL I picture him at a supermarket checkout line and a young black girl who is chewing gum and talking on her cell phone is the clerk... he's in a hurry and wants to get out of there to go somewhere but she's on the phone, rolling her eyes, laughing, telling him to "hold up a minute" LOLOLOL Awesome

interesting thought..but most people adapt or change culturally..the ones that don't are living in hell especially in that supermarket situation.

My father worked at a gas station that served food also fixing flats and such in the mid sixties Alabama. He was 14 and one of his jobs was to make up an excuse so blacks wouldn't eat their. He got fired he said for letting them in since it wasn't technically illegal anymore he couldn't stop them actually, he was just supposed to make up and excuse why the couldn't eat. He said he felt bad when the blacks would show up with shoeless children in the back of a truck and even cried about having to make them leave when he told me the story. So people went along with racism and weren't technically racist at all.

Yea...I am sure there were 2 kinds... people that did it because they HAD TO and those that did because they COULD and enjoyed it as a result.
