re: #16 HappyWarrior
We need to remember that people in the South were willing to kill to prevent blacks from registering to vote. You can say the North was just as bad blah blah but Schwerner, Goodman, and Chaney would not have been murdered and by the police no less in a Northern town. I’m proud to be a Virginian- we are the state of Washington, Jefferson, and Madison after all but I am not proud that for the longest time we had racism legally sanctioned.
People threw acid in the faces of children in Little Rock to prevent school integration. And, I don’t remember too many lynchings in the North.
