I personally saw Whites Only signs on drinking fountains when I lived in South Carolina in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Hard to believe, but unfortunately it has become more believable in the past ten years seeing the GOP try to move history backward.
@windinhishair I remember the signs as a child, and then there was the Woolworth’s experience. So when people like Ron Paul say that the Civil Rights Act shouldn’t have been passed, that should’ve been able to continue discriminating, nobody can tell me they’re not racists.
@bijouxbroussard I didn't think about them much as a child, but by my teens I realized they were racist and that people who supported the system that allowed them were racists themselves. Over 50 years later, Paul and others continue to show that to be true.
