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.' :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
