In the old south, it was said of a negro who had the audacity to believe that the constitution actually applied to him too.
ahhh, so the democrats started that..they started a lot of things here, slavery, civil war, jim crow, kkk, institutionalized racism/sexism/discrimination via affirmative action, cries for the return of segregation via blm, and cries for another civil war via antifa..
guess old habits are hard to break..

My point was, and I lived through this, that any black person who wanted to be, and insisted on being treated with dignity, was getting
uppity. The simple act of walking into a Woolworth lunch counter, sitting down, and ordering a meal was denied to them, is something unimaginable today.
I have seen white men, some of the sorriest human garbage to ever exit a womb, say I'll be damned if I'll ever sit down and eat next to a ni**er.
Both sides of my family, growing up, had two distinct characteristics. They were racists and they were Democrats. I worked in cafes and restaurants, in the summer between school years. Every place i worked had a table set up in the kitchen for blacks to eat. They paid the same as any white person but could not go into the main part of the restaurant. If they wanted a to go order that had to go around to the kitchen door. It was demeaning, of course, but I think it was demeaning to whites as well.
The Democrats of today would have us believe it is still like that, it is not. You had to live through it to know how bad it was.
My mother, once in a discussion with members of her family, in which they were bemoaning the passage of a time when colored people
knew their place, asked them straight up. Why did you think we were any better than they were. We were dirt poor, worked our asses off for a living, never had more than the neighbor next door. What made us better than colored people?
The only answer I ever heard anyone ever give to that question was: we were white and they were ni**ers.
