Don’t know what state you live in....here in the south it is progress to not have dem sheriffs killing people just because, or crowds beating someone near to death because they are a different race, or being able to sit next to one another in a restaurant (not many lunch counters left), or not being spit on just because.
Oh I quite agree, I moved to Atlanta in 1964...
You know how things were then
The Despite apportioned to those
with a different skin color was jarring
to this young 9 yr old
I remember the transition from Forced Segregation
to Forced Integration, with busing of students over long distances to meet racial quotas
I remember the transitions from the Corrupt
Good ‘Ol Boy Politics to the
differently corrupt Politics of Color of today
Money and Power Corrupts All who attempt to grasp it
I've watched the traumas from Hatred going in all directions as an act of Satan on this Earth, in direct violation of “Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself”
Yes I was raised in the South...
And I've seen Evil in all places
