Default "Undesirable alien" buying a US flagged boat

Well, I guess you weren't black. Did you have a confederate flag on
the back window?

Ahhh, yes. Driving through Mississippi in an expensive (foreign)
sportscar with long hair in the 60s... After pulling me over, their
stopping policy (I assume it was their policy because they used it on
me more than once) was to kneel behind their opened doors with their
guns drawn and hammers back and yell, "Outa the car, muthah****ah.
Hands on the hood!"


Funny. I spent two summers driving two different foreign cars (though not
sports cars--a Morris Minor and a Volvo PV444) with out-of-state plates
through most of rural Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and northwest

Florida
in the 60s and was never stopped once.

However, I think Frank's imaginings are present day imaginings, not

ancient
history.
