As the father of a biracial daughter.I speak from observations. I saw racial BS from both Colors. The blacks and Whites each had their own churches. My daughter is adopted and we are white. This caused a problem. We were asked not to go to the black church and to not bring our daughter to the white church.
I thought coming out of Cal. that the stupid racists were gone. It goes to show that stupid people exist very well in the deep south.
The beauty of the city is lost when you get close to the real people.
