Last time I heard about black kids being denied use of a pool here in
Tallahassee was when I was a kid in 1966.

The fact is most racists do live up north now.
Ohio and Indiana are what Mississippi and Arkansas were in the 50s.

I just got back from Southern Maryland and they are as segregated as
any place I have ever seen.


Hmmm. I "frequent" Charles, St. Marys, and Calvert Counties, and no
overt segregation. The public schools are racially mixed, the county
employees are racially mixed, the housing areas are very diverse, and
there are at least several black-owned farms among the small number of
white-owned farms out where your relatives have that marina. In fact,
some of the oldest and most established families around here are black,
with histories that go back to the 18th century or earlier. I believe
Calvert and St. Marys Counties are about 15% black, and Charles is
somewhat higher.

I am not saying there are no problems. But when you say "segregated,"
to what are you referring?
