I don't know how many times I heard my father rant on about racism back in the late 50s - early 60s.

He said it never did make sense to him that, at that time, blacks had to sit in the back of the bus, use different water fountains, etc., but here were white people trying their damnedest to get tans on the beach so that some of them were actually DARKER than the blacks they were so hateful toward.
