I grew up in the segregated north in the 50s-60s. The segregation was economic and residential. Anyone ate wherever, shopped wherever, went to school where they lived. There were exceptions of the country club variety but the reason the south was targeted was because that's where the epicenter of the problem was.

This thread is about the various CSA flags and the different ways people react to them. As such I stand by my previous comments.

Segregation in the South was a law not a custom. If I wished to serve a black person in a white section of a resturant, we could both go to jail. However a black could serve a white in that section. Seems kind of dumb doesn't it.

But I still stand by my guns on the number of blacks killed in the North vs the number killed in the South in race riots. I count the 50's and 60's also.

The CSA flag has only been a real issue in the last 30 years stirred up by the race baiters.
