That is the biggest pile of horseshit you ever posted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea you think African Amercans were Ok with segregation takes my breath away.

Did you miss Bull Conner releasing German Shepards on little black girls, and using firehouses on them and lynching them and baring the entrance to schools.

Or the black chain gangs that ran until 1the 1930;'s where African Americans were arrested for nothing and SOLD to plantations.

What exactly fucking did you think MLK, John Lewis and 'Rosa parkes were doing down rhere?

Do you have any humanity or perception at all

>> People always talk about the southern hospitality, but tell that to the African American; for 100 years the South refused to end segregation. Segregation was such a horrible thing that it simply trumps anything else that is wonderful those people did i.e. if they are racist.

Segregation was such a horrible thing that it simply trumps anything else that is wonderful those people did i.e. if they are racist. OF the vast number of blacks I know and have known over the years, I don't know of one who feels that way. There are certainly some younger blacks who do, those who hear it in pop culture. But most adult blacks in the South do not. No normal black adult feels the way you suggest. Those I went to school with are facebook friends just like my white friends. I'm going to run over to the racetrack for a little while, and I will sit amongst blacks and whites who are drinking beers and talking racehorses together, discussing underlays and overlays, and we don't know each other but no one is hostile or talking about what happened in the 50s. Hell, most of them were kids in the 50s just like I was. OF the vast number of blacks I know and have known over the years, I don't know of one who feels that way.
