It's pretty stunning to think that in my lifetime, below a certain latitude, a person might not be served, or permitted to stay in a hotel, because of their skin color. As late as 1980, I remember stopping at a rural Virginia restaurant after a hiking trip up in the mountains and the place was full of signs making it absolutely clear that blacks were not welcome and that it was only because of Congress and the Supreme Court that the owners were legally required to serve them.
So I agree we need to be pretty careful how we judge people who experienced those things. And I am not saying two wrongs make a right or anything like that. Last edited by Peter_Spaeth; 06-23-2016 at 01:00 PM.
