Way way back in 1994 I visited my friend in Alabama. We did a leisurely 3-day drive up to Witchita KS, so abt a 1,000 mile trip.

Half way there (we were driving through Arkansas) he said "The only reason we have not been stopped yet is because neither of us are black?"

I was completely gob-smacked. Then we hit the Riverfest in Witchita, and I saw the overt racism on the streets... Kids wearing t-shirts saying stuff like "It's a white thang; you wouldn't understand" and so on.

Vile.
