What America did you grow up in?

[Dave in VA]

6. Jim Crow in the south

Everything was segragated; schools, doctor's offices with seperate waiting rooms, white and "colored" water fountains, bars and restaurants, etc. You get the picture. Voting was taxed, you had to pass a literacy test, etc. When Brown v Topeka was decided, Virgina's governor decalared a state of "Massive Resistance", (googe Virginia and massive resistance, you'll get the idea.)

Many of us old white folks worked our asses off to get these things to change. Very disapointing to see a new generation try to recreate this version of our country.

Everything old is new again as the saying goes.
