What's this?

It’s hard to understand how ANYONE in the 80s would think blackface is OK.


Or even the 70s.

I don’t think the notion that these were different times carries the day. By then bigotry was already publicly condemned. I was very surprised and saddened to learn this was going on in the mid 80s. If such blatant racists mockery was ok then - why do we assume the attitudes are gone today? The South is still full of private schools filled with whites. Why is that OK?
