>>>Did you have blacks in your school?<<<
What does that have to do with my statement that I recalled only a few incidents of racism in the form of fighting or obscenity shouting? Please try to follow the conversation.
For the record, the first blacks attended my high school when I was a junior (that is the 11th Grade for those in Rio Linda).
>>>I stated clear history with no distortion<<<
You did not. You made the outrageous claim that a majority of Southern whites were OK with lynchings. Only a blithering idiot, or a race baiter, would make such a claim. Are you a blithering idiot, or a race baiter?
>>>Wow, what a concession.<<<
That was no concession. That was history, unlike your lie that a majority of Southern whites were OK with lynchings.
>>>I’m not race baiting, I’m ignorance baiting. And I’ve caught a whopper.<<<
Please get your history straight, sonny, and not straight from the mouths of leftwing nutjobs or the so-called “Rainbow Coalition”.
Because when you segregate the population, you ensure that people don't see the other side. Of course you didn't see a lot of racism, if blacks weren't allowed in your school, or in your places of business. Its a lot neater and cleaner than way.

Great. The end of segregation was the beginning of the end of open racism, as people had to confront it. Hopefully Eisenhower didn't have to send troops to your town.

History is history. How you can claim that a society that did not pursue lynchers and ignored violence against one segment was not commonly accountable is wishful thinking on your part.

Look pops, I've been waiting for you to set the record straight and show me how the majority of South Carolinians had segregation forced on them, or how I was wrong about tacit support for extra-judicial practices.
I'm sorry for you that you can't accept that the society you grew up in was supporting of racism. It was. That doesn't mean everyone in it was evil or even racist. Obviously things were changing for the better during the 40's-60's.
An analogy today is abortion. The majority of our society is supportive of infanticide. Even if they wouldn't do it themselves, they feel that its acceptable for lesser people and they do nothing to stop it.
Someday, God willing, when infanticide is no longer acceptable, I won't be lecturing people how American society was never supportive of the practice.
The society you grew up in was likely far better than todays culture in most every other way, from what I've been told and what I've seen, but you can't bury your head in the sand about what actually happened.
PS, if you don't want to get banned, you might want to learn how to post without name calling. I've got thicker skin than most.
