I spent my childhood in segregated Memphis. Spent most of my adult life in lily white south east Ohio and West Virginia. Now live in Upstate South Carolina, which at least in terms of jobs and neighborhoods, is quite racially and ethnically diverse. Socialization, on the other hand, tends to be still segregated.
LOL! The old birds of a feather deal. Back in the late 70’s I was playing guitar with a country band near the MS/LA border area. Out bass player and sax player were both black guys. At a vfw one night, the drummer and I overheard a couple of old guys at the bar bitching that we had brought them “N’s” in there. We told the rest of the band what we heard and we packed up and left without ever playing a note. Unanimous decision.
