You ain't just whistling Dixie.
And it continues today. We live in suburban Indy, and my son’s high school is mostly white but there are a fair number of black students at the school. That doesn’t bother me; my high school in Indy had about the same mix.
Last year some of the black students decided that there was an intersection of two hallways that they wanted as their own. There were fights and intimidation, and white students would not go there. My son told me they called it “42nd & Post” after a street intersection in Indy known for drugs, gangs and violence.
Since I know members of the administration and school board, as well as having some pull with the local constabulary, the problem has been taken care of. But if left alone, you can see what will happen. I am convinced that no significant race problem exists in this country on the part of white people. For those who would say that even the term “42nd & Post” is racist, my reply is “tell me you would go there at night.”
Interesting post. Actually, racism seems to primarily run high in black/hispanic communities - a high percentage of whites have moved on or maintain a live and let live attitude, as least.
Bump to a very good article. I’ve been saying these things for years.
And this person also doesn't know the difference between the Stars and Bars and the CSA Battle Flag.
Probably never liked grits either. Because he couldn't understand why they weren't served with sugar and cream.
