Any fantasies I might have about Dr Rice are the perfectly normal fantasies any normal male MIGHT have for an attractive woman. Not paranoid ravings of someone determined to take down a successful woman based on little more than inuendo and suggestion.

And you're still in red herring land. None of this has ANYTHING to do with the CONTINUED existence of segregation LONG after the CRA. It existed, you know it, I know it, everybody with 2 brain cells to rub together knows it (and note I'm not using the common qualifier of "the south", I know better, segregation happened all over America but thanks to the Civil War everybody blamed the south while forcing their black to use different bathrooms). The story is not a fable, there's no indication in that story that the segregation was legal, not even an indication that it was full on segregation, simply that it was "the white drug store". All your attempts to classify it otherwise won't change it.

You find Rice attractive?
