Racializing society the first time was pure poison. Yet here we are, intent on doing it again, just with different scapegoats. I still marvel at the people who, with straight faces, pretend that life for minorities today is worse than it was during the "colored only" era. I started school with kids whose parents used the separate fountains and facilities. What an insult to those parents' memories to pretend nothing has changed.
