“How about being a soldier passing through San Francisco in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s?”

Yep, when I returned from Viet Nam through the Oakland, CA Army terminal from SF Arpt in 1968,the Army bus we were aboard had to have a police escort front and back to prevent attacks on us returning troops by the war protesters.

The irony, considering the topic of race, is that it didn't matter what color your skin was back then if your uniform was green.

They either hated you or looked right through you.
