I lived in a town in the 70's that had almost no black families. There were so few living there, that the teen son of one family was dating white girls and no one ever said a word. That was extremely rare in the South in the 70's. It was almost like racism never came to town. When he went to college, he said he had a hard time because he didn't know how to be "black". He was basically a dark-skinned hillbilly. His parents chose that area so their child could be brought up without expectations based on his color.

That's why I never believed that Bell Curve crap. It's all environment.

Sounds like Cowboy Troy.

Nothing is "all environment". The Bell Curve is pretty much indisputable and the outrage it generated among the Leftists is indicative of its truth.

Wow! Talk about "small world". That's my hometown. :)And yes, it's still that way today.
