It's funny because all of that is true 60 years later in 2013.

Oh well. Thanks for trying good sir.

White and grew up in the 50's early 60's. Lived in the North but had relatives in the South. Most of the relatives in the South were blatantly racist and were pro segregation. They were generally very upfront and vocal about where they stood. In the North you had more closet racists and segregationists.
