Louisiana cemetery refused to accept remains of sheriff's deputy because he was BLACK

A southwest Louisiana cemetery refused to accept the remains of a recently deceased Black man, citing Jim Crow-era bylaws that permitted such exclusions.
Allen Parish Sheriff's Deputy Darrell Semien, 55, died this week after a brief battle with bladder cancer and he had hoped to be buried close to his home in Oberlin, about halfway between New Orleans and Houston.
When loved ones of Semien, who was Black, approached Oaklin Springs Baptist Cemetery, they were rebuffed by a representative who said the graveyard was for whites only.

Although this happened in 2021, I just heard about this idiotic nonsense while watching a video on a YT channel called "LAMONT AT LARGE". After, I was talked down off a ledge by DH when I was looking to find any means to carry my caramel brown rusty dusty to Louisiana FULLY intending to have a chat with the racist Karen, I couldn't believe that this sh!t is STILL happening in these American streets while simultaneously being told that racism doesn't exist anymore, hence, no more need to protect the rights of black, red, brown, yellow, olive. women & poor white people to peacefully live their lives, vote, have decent health without having to sell 2 kidneys and half a liver, etc. I STILL run into idiots who argue that racism is a trope that POC use to make excuses for not being able to rise the way we want to. Hell, as women & children of color come up missing, get shot for sleeping in our own beds in our own homes. so, the VERY next time a suicidal idiot gets in my face talking rubbish about how there is no racism as evidenced by OBAMA being elected , (nevermind the constant whining about Kamala Harris), so help me God, DU might have to hold a fundraiser for my bail. This is F*CKING ridiculous!
