Racism. I imagine many people made racists jokes in front of black people. I imagine that some people did more than just joke. For instance, made crude remarks, or refused to sit next to a colored person, or called them the N-word, etc etc etc. And that it wasn't any big deal. At all. That it was ok to talk down and pretty much harrass black people - just because they were black. We don't tolerate that behavior at work places or school today. I imagine the sexual harrassments may take the same course. That in 70 years, it will be unthinkable to let these things slide.</blockquote>
