Reading your other post 232 gives question to your playing loose with facts or do you seriously think when Jim VCrow laws were passed there were movie theaters, busses or phone booths?

Reconstruction and putting ex-slaves in positions of authority not only caused great stress, but significant wreckage of State and local government. The ex-slaves and yankee carpetbaggers brought on the KKK, not the poor Southerners who were simply interested in surviving the after war punishment at the hands of the Union.

Jim Crow laws lasted until the 1950's.

Baloney. Y'all brought it on yourselves.
