Really? sheshe2 Jan 2015 #6

I think the poster meant that none of the ones you posted in the OP showed any obvious segregation. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #10

Who cares if it is obvious? Is that the point of the thread? No. Rex Jan 2015 #13

it's the title of the thread, yes. so i guess one can be forgiven for expecting photos showing ND-Dem Jan 2015 #17

Obvious segregation? You have to be kidding me. Is that what would make you happy? Rex Jan 2015 #18

You obviously wish to be offended and insulting so I'll leave you to your pleasure after showing ND-Dem Jan 2015 #20

Not at all, I just cringe at willful ignorance. Rex Jan 2015 #22

How about that first picture outside the theater? sheshe2 Jan 2015 #37

"IT HAPPENED." You've taking what I said as some denial that segregation happened? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #41

Expecting to see certain photos is one thing. Unrec ing the thread (all caps, no less) is another. merrily Jan 2015 #56

I didn't unrec the thread, let alone in all caps. That was another poster. Here, let me give you ND-Dem Jan 2015 #57

My reply to you did not say you had unrec'd the thread. It went directly to your comments. merrily Jan 2015 #60

2/3 of the comments that are supposedly to me are about unreccing the thread. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #64

And there was nothing in the thread title about 'obvious segregation' so you lied Rex Jan 2015 #66

Again, my reply to you was only about the content of your post. merrily Jan 2015 #67

Thank you Rex. sheshe2 Jan 2015 #19

NP. "I don't see segregation going on, so it must not be happening in those pictures." Rex Jan 2015 #21

You know nothing about me or my experiences. I leave you with one of the photos from the ND-Dem Jan 2015 #23

That may be true. sheshe2 Jan 2015 #15

Really. Just that obvious about it. Rex Jan 2015 #16

Why anyone would supposedly unrec a thread full of great photos is a mystery, no merrily Jan 2015 #69

This last photo at the COLORED ONLY fountain... callous taoboy Jan 2015 #83

K&R because only a total idiot would miss the point of this thread. Rex Jan 2015 #14

Lol~ sheshe2 Jan 2015 #24

Thank you for the unearthed history, those pictures are amazing. Rex Jan 2015 #27

You are welcome Rex. nt sheshe2 Jan 2015 #78

not from the page you linked. but thanks for the gratuitous insults. so effective at winning ND-Dem Jan 2015 #28

No it is not. Yet they are Gordons photos. sheshe2 Jan 2015 #50

Yes, I lived through the segregation and then the civil rights era. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #52

So you are black? Or white? sheshe2 Jan 2015 #59

the new democrats. insulting their constituency since 1981. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #29

Totally wrong, but please keep entertaining me with your guesses. Rex Jan 2015 #30

It wouldn't matter what I told you about segregation. You'd keep insulting me regardless, because ND-Dem Jan 2015 #31

So you admit that you have no idea and just pretend now it is all my fault. Rex Jan 2015 #32

I don't admit any such thing. Having lived through that era, I imagine I know just as much about it ND-Dem Jan 2015 #33

Oh you lived through that era did you!? Rex Jan 2015 #34

Yes. I was born in the early 50s. But of course, you don't believe that either, because you made ND-Dem Jan 2015 #38

You've made it quite clear what kind of person you are, very clear. Rex Jan 2015 #39

"Coloreds Only" signs aren't the only indicator of segregation. Racist micro aggression existed back uponit7771 Jan 2015 #35

i don't know what 'diet racism' is, and i don't know what the relation is to something billed as ND-Dem Jan 2015 #36

Really funny youtube vid inside uponit7771 Jan 2015 #40

huh? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #42

This is a denial that it exist because it's not overt, where do you think blacks on the train would uponit7771 Jan 2015 #46

Maybe that's the difference. You were "taught" about it. I lived it. And the holier than thou ND-Dem Jan 2015 #49

Ok, you may be right about that but neither does the outright denial of it... uponit7771 Jan 2015 #53

the only denial is in your mind and the minds of your friends here. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #55

We're all friends? LOL. Rex Jan 2015 #65

The first pic is a pic of segregation, to think that the rule at the time was that the theatres were uponit7771 Jan 2015 #43

according to that theory, any picture taken in the 50s is a picture of segregation. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #44

The train pic!? You're kidding me right?! Where do you think blacks SAT at that time?! uponit7771 Jan 2015 #47

Like I said, according to that theory, any and all photos taken in the 50s (or before) are pictures ND-Dem Jan 2015 #48

Good luck explaining it. Rex Jan 2015 #45

Yes. I add: Segregation did not merely exist then, but was REQUIRED by Jim Crow laws. merrily Jan 2015 #58

It's photographed in1950! You KNOW segregation was going on! montana_hazeleyes Jan 2015 #51

Where I live MLK is no longer taught in schools, it may be a thing of the past because uponit7771 Jan 2015 #54

I still teach my second graders about MLK. callous taoboy Jan 2015 #84
