I can see both sides of this, when we went south and we as Yankees treated the blacks the same as we would anyone they often went out to look at our licences plates.
To call a black man SIR from a white woman or man was a weird thing for them. For two white Yankees to head South and get into a situation where we needed gas or food, and showed respect and just the usual person was for some reason a surprise to them.
What was the matter with these people I WONDERED, but being a Yankee, Hubby and I did not understand
What the hell has gone on in the south for the last 100 years, have the people not mingled with the other races and become true Americans ?
