>> No. In some places, it's still happening. What a lie. The inverse of Jim Crow -- where whites are not allowed in predominantly black establishments -- are far more prevalent today, at least in the South. I don't believe there is a city in America today where a black person would be unwelcome because of his skin color. Very few establishments of this nature exist today. There are few areas in the South I haven't traveled heavily, and I don't know of any such places. OTOH, drive through Tallulah, LA sometime. I dare you to stop at any establishment in town on a Saturday night. Unless you're black. Jim Crow is alive and well, alright, but in reverse.
