Me, either.  But misinformation *is* being slung by both
egos in this debate.  I was raised in the Deep South during
this period.  There were many restaurants that served both
whites and blacks.  You could always tell them because 
they had four bathrooms (two each for white and "colored")
and two water fountains.  There was a lot of racism, and
there were a lot of people who weren't racist but who lived
in a racist society.  No one today can really tell who was
who, *especially* by what they *say*.

But this "debate" isn't about facts.  It's about ego-dominance
and attachment to being "right."

It *does* make catching up on the posts easier, however.
Just look at the poster's name, and if it's either Shemp or
Judy, just press 'Next.'  :-)
