Sounds like some parts of Arkansas I was unfortunate enough to visit in the 90's.
LOL!
Your kidding me right? There are white folks neighborhoods and black folks neighborhoods in Mississippi now. My Father is from Canton Ms, and I go there every year. There is a white shcool and a black kids school. Hell! I am Catholic and there is the white Catholic Church and the black Catholic church in a town of less then 20,000.
Your obviously not from the South (especially Miss.) , an aplogist, in denial, or blind.
Abolishing Jim Crow laws does not integration make. Not now and certainly not in 1965. If her grandfather told her that it was a "white folks" drug store then you better believe everyone in "DeKalb, Miss" knew it whatever the law said.
hehehe!
Strong, extremely intellegent, well-connected, conservative, Repbublican role models, scare the Hell out of DemonRat's...
Hmmmm.. Don't feed the troll..

Anyone who can speak 5 languages and get multiple degrees deserves admiration period.
How many languages do you speak!
BTW - I like fairy tales also.
Obviously you didn't grow up during that time south of the Mason-Dixon line.

In Italian, the film is Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo, which translates to "The Good, The Ugly, The Bad", but the title was wisely switched around to sound better in English. Those who have seen the laserdisc version could be confused (as I was) by the trailer which labels Tuco as the Bad, and Angel-Eyes as the Ugly. Even though Tuco is bad, and Angel-Eyes is ugly, Tuco is more of a comic character, while Angel-Eyes is quite viciously evil. Those who know Italian say the trailer got it wrong.The revisionist history you peddle about racism and Western movies is truly disgusting.
And as a reach back side note [I cannot resist] the Kursk was sunk by an explosion from its own torpedos per the Russian Admiralty findings.
Sorry TUCO, you just work the fringes, not the facts.
Besides, Dr. Rice didn't say that the store was officially "segregated." She said that a white employee in a store was nasty to her, apparently in a racially charged way, and her mother verbally slapped the ignorant hag across the room. Sounds good to me.
As for Gregory Kane's reminiscences, to deny that in 1965 there could have been a drugstore in De Kalb, Mississippi where blacks were unwelcome is about the standard sort of obstinate mindlessness FReepers have come to associate with a certain poster, who is apparently a "bad" member of The University Caterers Organization.
I'm an unabashed admirer of Condoleezza Rice, dating from her counselling "firmness" toward China in Foreign Affairs.
A bus trip through Alabama in the '60's left no doubt about the state of affairs on the ground, statutory remedies to the contrary notwithstanding.
It was my first post-graduate job which opened my eyes to the possibilities of excellence absence race.
In the spring of 1970, in Boston, in Roxbury, at 416 Warren Street in Unity Bank and Trust under president Philip J. Sneed, six-two, two-and-a-quarter, karate, weightlifting--"Sneed don't take no sh!t from nobody, walkin' or ridin' slippin' or slidin'" he told the sixty-two employees.
The atmosphere in the bank was dignified and efficient. Mr. Sneed and the two guys from the collection department personally handled an attempted bank robbery.
On the street I encountered the standard, "Hey! Whatchoo doon on my street!" But I never took it personally.
I was part of the team at the bank, though the lone white. So I find it particularly grating when Derrick Z. Jackson drops hateful litter such as "America's arrogance" in his perp walk.
Condoleezza Rice is a big old lighthouse. Jackson is a black hole--as bad as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Kwame Mfume, Louis Farakan and the rest.
She is so terribly good at what she does, and Jackson is so obviously bitter (about something), it jumps in your face.
It's more of the stuff of Harry Belafonte--some kind of green-with-envy crippling bitterness.
Something like, "I am so mediocre and bitter, and Condoleezza Rice is so accomplished and upwardly mobile, I'm going to sit out back and eat worms."
Hey, it's America, Derrick. I, however, will be inside following the success of "America's arrogance" in ending Islamofascism.
How long does Rice have to be in the job before we can blame her for terrorist attacks in which she did not take proper action of warning signs?
I guess the drug store was running an "abnormal" sale day for Rice to have bought the candy.
Yet Rice was able to buy candy from the "white folks" drug store.
You tried to intimidate me.
BTW - FReepers don't intimidate easily.
