“But 40 or 50 years ago, life was hell for decent well meaning folks who were not permitted to vote, to defend themselves, to attend proper schools, or to hold certain jobs for which they were otherwise qualified.
We are also glad you are in your 60s.”

GOD only knows what you are babbling about, and he is not talking.

To his credit Bear Bryant, the late, great coach of Alabama, arranged a series of games against USC. Alabama usually lost, mostly because of the large number of great players who had left the state of Alabama to go to and play for USC. Bear was able to make that point to the alumni, and was able to resolve the naked discrimination which had previously kept blacks from Alabama from attending school there and playing on the football team.

Roll Tide!
