'Jokes' like this were common.

What's the longest bridge in America?
The Sixth Street viaduct.
It connects Poland and Africa.

Milwaukee blacks live on the north side and whites on the south.
Hispanic background and misc poor on the eastside and the rich on the west.

I didn't meet other people of color until I joined the service.

I wasn't allowed to have Hank Aaron as a hero or to buy a Bill Cosby album.

I am happy in California diversity and could never go back to live.

Even a bad pool shot gets referred to as shooting ni**er pool.

Sorry Wisconsin. You're a nice state if not for the people.
