As much as I complain about those years, I also have to admit they might have given my ability too see people of color as equals because I shared such an experience with them. And my parents of course. Im better than no human and none are better than me. Heard that my whole life.
Ill bet dollars to doughnuts you have read C. Vann Woodwards The Burden of Southern History. Of course he was wrong in his assumptions. But that thinking drove much of what happened in those years. And he was not totally wrong. This southern white guy is more comfortable with southern African Americans than with many northern whites. They eat poorly, talk funny and are too impatient! But now I have taken this thread down a real rabbit hole!
Ill put Road to Brown on my list.
Thanks for the discussion. Look forward to more.
And have a great week.
