105. Ah, but you see, pre-1960, most white Southerners did not consider
African Americans "people". It's perfectly OK to subjugate sub-humans if all they are is a higher form of animal. Thank God for SNCC and MLK Jr. is all I can say.
Read W.J. Cash's "The Mind of the South" for more on pre-Civil Rights Era white southern attitudes toward race and towards African Americans specifically.
N.B. Cash was a good ole' boy himself (if memory serves), which gives his analysis considerable weight.
